Steven Levenkron is a well known psychotherapist in New York City and the author of eight books, both fiction and non-fiction, published from 1978 to 2007 by Warner Books, Scribner and W. W. Norton. His work is widely acclaimed as original and groundbreaking in both the theoretical conception and clinical treatment of Anorexia Nervosa, Self-Mutilation, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
His clinical work with patients, began in 1970, is based on the Nurturant – Authoritative approach that he developed as a direct result of treating the victims of these endangering disorders. In his private practice he has assisted many young people in their recovery from these serious disorders, helping them back to healthy productive lives.
Since the publication of his first book on anorexia, The Best Little Girl in the World, he has been invited to speak at lectures, and appear on hundreds of television and radio shows. His books have been translated into seven foreign languages and are popular from the United Kingdom to Japan, Scandinavia, and Europe. Two of the fiction books, The Best Little Girl in the World and The Luckiest Girl in the World, were produced as Movies for Television.
As a lecturer, Steven Levenkron has introduced his ideas to both popular and professional audiences, and he has offered his theories and guidance at wide-ranging venues from schools and social work agencies to Teaching Hospitals, including Harvard Medical School.
He often lectures locally, in the New York and tri-state area, as well as accepting invitations to join National panels on Self-Harm or Eating Disorders from Texas to New England. Therapists working with these patients sometimes contact Levenkron for professional supervision on an individual basis. Together with his wife and co-therapist, Abby Levenkron, he continues to see patients in his New York office.
