About the Editors
Michael W. Parsons, PhD, ABPP, graduated from the University
of Virginia and earned his doctoral degree in clinical psychology
from the University of Texas at Austin. He completed an internship
at the University of Florida/Shands Medical Center and a
postdoctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology at the Medical
College of Wisconsin (MCW). He was on the faculty of MCW briefly
before joining the faculty of West Virginia University (WVU) School
of Medicine, where he became an associate professor. During his 7
years at WVU, Dr. Parsons directed the clinical psychology
internship program and developed a program for clinical functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He joined the Cleveland Clinic
in 2007, serving as Staff in the Section of Neuropsychology with
appointments in the Center for Behavioral Health and the Burkhardt
Brain Tumor Center. Dr. Parsons' research has included numerous
functional brain imaging studies of processes of learning and
memory. His work has included studies of the clinical applications
of fMRI. More recently, his research has focused on
neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies of clinical conditions,
including brain tumor and concussion. He has developed the program
for neuropsychology at the Burkhardt Brain Tumor Center at the
Cleveland Clinic.
Thomas A. Hammeke, PhD, ABPP, graduated summa cum laude from
Fort Hays State University and obtained his doctoral degree in
clinical psychology from the University of South Dakota. He
completed an internship at the Clement J. Zablocki Veterans Affairs
Medical Center (VAMC) in Milwaukee and a postdoctoral fellowship in
clinical neuropsychology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW).
He then joined the faculty in the Department of Neurology at the
MCW, where he became a professor and has been director of the
Division of Neuropsychology for 25 years. While there, he also
assisted in development and served as the director of training of
an APA-accredited postdoctoral residency program. He transitioned
to the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Medicine at MCW in
2010 and became the lead neuropsychologist for the Polytrauma
Program at Zablocki VAMC and the preceptor for a postdoctoral
residency program in clinical neuropsychology. Dr. Hammeke has
received research grants from the National Academy of
Neuropsychology (NAN), American Heart Association of Wisconsin, and
NFL Charities, among other organization and foundations. His
research has concentrated on use of neurocognitive tests and
functional imaging techniques in the study of neuropathological
conditions, in particular, traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. He
has coauthored more than 75 peer-reviewed research publications, 25
book chapters, and five books, and has made scientific
presentations on his work in North America, Europe and North Korea.
He has served as an associate editor for the Journal of the
International Neuropsychological Society and on the editorial
boards of Neuropsychology and The Clinical Neuropsychologist, and
done ad hoc research reviews for 11 neuroscience journals and the
National Institute for Disability Research and Rehabilitation. He
was the founding president of the Association of Postdoctoral
Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology, and served as president of
APA Division 40 (Neuropsychology), and the American Board of
Clinical Neuropsychology. He is a fellow of APA (Division 40) and
the NAN. He was honored with the Distinguished Neuropsychologist
Award from the American Academy of Clinical Neuropsychology in
2013.
