The profession of clinical neuropsychology has a rich tradition rooted in both psychology and neurology, eventually emerging as a profession in its own right. Clinical neuropsychology is dedicated to the understanding of behaviour, cognition and emotion associated with brain-related neurological disorders. As a clinical neuropsychologist in independent practice, I have gained extensive experience in the clinical evaluation and rehabilitation of victims of traumatic brain injury.

Early in my practice, it became apparent that, under certain conditions, thinking skills could be diminished significantly through exposure to violent acceleration forces, in the absence of direct impact to the head. From my first professional publication dealing with this phenomenon in 1992, I have referred to this condition as "nonimpact brain injury". A restrained occupant of a motor vehicle might suffer nonimpact brain injury by being subjected to extreme physical forces in a motor vehicle accident.

A primary purpose of this website is to make readily available to all interested parties important elements of my published research addressing the neuropsychology of nonimpact brain injury, rehabilitative implications of the results of my research program in conjunction with clinical experience, and research-based ideas to stimulate interest and further research. Another principal reason for the website is to assist individuals possibly afflicted with this disorder to understand brain-related issues in adaptation that they might be facing and to access proper clinical evaluation. I would also hope that this website would be used as a forum for communication regarding nonimpact brain injury.

I welcome all who have an interest, or potential interest, in the neuropsychology of nonimpact brain injury, professional and layman alike.
