Brian John Bigelow was born on December 6, 1947, in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. He is a son of Earnest Peter Bigelow, a plumber, and Dorothy Jean (Pariset) Bigelow, a histo-technician.
Bigelow was educated at the University of Windsor, receiving his bachelor's degree in 1970, as well as master's degree the next year. He received his doctor's degree from the University of Dundee in 1974.
Bigelow started his career at Laurentian University, taking a position of a member of psychology faculty. In May, 2005, he became diplomated psychologist by the American Board of Professional Psychology in Child & Adolescent Clinical Psychology. Bigelow has been in independent practice for more than thirty years, specializing in child and adolescent issues.
Bigelow is an expert in clinical, developmental and school psychology, such as with learning, behavioral and emotional problems. Bigelow has also a wide experience in forensic assessments, such as decisional capacity under the Substitute Decisions Act, parenting capacity, and abuse and neglect issues under the Child and Family Services Act. Bigelow is also skilled in court-ordered custody and access assessments.

1998Throughout Bigelow's young life he has been particularly puzzled at the tendency of scientists to ignore interpersonal relations as a worthy topic in its own right, particularly when the quality of our very lives is dictated as much or even perhaps more by the qualities of their personal relationships than by any other single consideration. From Cain and Abel to Helen of Troy, interpersonal conflict and passion have had the power to change the course of history.
Bigelow's writing process has developed into a deeply driven thing which comes into its own when the author has time for real solitude. He likes to listen to the birds in spring, and then his pen simply scripts a vividly visual blueprint of what he needs to say.
Quotations: "Essentially, I find a sense of wonder in seeking and discovering that there is indeed an order in nature and that this order also exists in the world of human social behavior. I was especially intrigued by Piaget’s The Moral Judgement of the Child (1932) at a time when most of my instructors and colleagues were unabashedly behavioral. At the outset, though, I had a firm conviction that the word ‘behavior’ meant something quite different when applied to people as the meaning of events in their lives defined essentially what is human."
Bigelow is a member of the Ontario and Canadian Psychological Associations, as well as the American Psychological Association.
Bigelow is keen on Judo (he has shodan - first-degree black belt), and kendo (he has ikkyu, brown belt).
Bigelow is married to Valerie Anne Baker since February 21, 1970. The couple produced two children - Caragh JoAnne and Ian Alexander.
