About the author

Stanley Siegel began his writing career in 1981 as the creator and author of the Families column for Newsday (NY), where he offered compelling insights into the evolving dynamics of modern relationships.
He is the author of three groundbreaking works of popular psychology: The Patient Who Cured His Therapist and Other Unconventional Stories of Therapy (Penguin/Dutton, 1992), Uncharted Lives: Understanding the Life Passages of Gay Men (Penguin/Dutton, 1994), and Your Brain on Sex: How Smarter Sex Can Change Your Life (Sourcebooks, 2011). Each has been translated into multiple languages, affirming their broad cultural and international relevance.
His novel, The Unbecoming, marks his first foray into fiction. This psychological thriller brings his keen understanding of the human psyche into a gripping narrative about identity and transformation. Across his prolific career, Siegel has redefined the role of writing in psychology and culture, leaving an indelible mark on every platform he has engaged with.
Siegel’s writing has appeared in acclaimed publications including O: The Oprah Magazine, the New York Post, and Psychology Today, where he also served as a sex columnist—bringing a bold, thoughtful voice to the intersection of intimacy, culture, and human behavior. Internationally, he was a sex columnist for FitnStyle, a Middle Eastern lifestyle magazine, where he introduced open, nuanced conversations about sexuality to diverse audiences.
As Editor-in-Chief of Psychology Tomorrow Magazine, Siegel curated a singular platform that merged art and psychology, challenging conventional thought and encouraging transformative dialogue. His engagement with the arts also includes his tenure as Dance Editor for Show Business magazine in New York, where his weekly critiques captured the energy and innovation of the city’s contemporary dance scene.
With nearly fifty years of clinical experience, Siegel has consistently infused his writing with the depth, empathy, and complexity honed through therapeutic practice. His work reflects a lasting commitment to emotional truth, intellectual rigor, and cultural relevance—an exploration of the psyche as both a private reckoning and a public mirror.
