Alexander Levy

I was trying to tell my current therapist how I transitioned from working as a psychiatric nurse with a BSN at WPIC in 1969. I was sure that this was not for me. I took several to look for a new direction. His course on Abnormal Psychology was just what I needed and inspired me to take more courses in the area of psychology. He was such a dynamic teacher and able to make his class and work with individuals with mental health problems the thing I wanted to do the rest of my professional...

I just found out about Alexander Levy's passing. I lost my dad earlier in January during a brutal battle with cancer -which was also cut short by COVID - and his illness has been very traumatic for me. In June, I happened upon The Orphaned Adult and in addition to understanding my own feelings about my dad's passing, it gave me a strong sense of relief.

I live in Derbyshire, England and have only just learned of the sad loss of Alexander Levy last year (2021). I bought his book four years ago 'The Orphaned Adult' after losing both my parents within five months of each other. My Mum died in September 2017 and my Dad in February 2018. Reading Alexander's book helped me so much. He really understood how much it hurts to lose your parents. He showed great understanding and compassion in all he wrote. It's the best book I have read about parental...
