About the Author:

Dr. Michael Feuerstein received his AB in Psychology from Boston University in 1972 and his PhD in Clinical Psychology and Psychophysiology from the University of Georgia in 1977. He also received an MPH from USUHS in 2003. He has held faculty and clinical positions at McGill University, The University of Florida Health Sciences Center and The University of Rochester Medical Center. For the past twenty- two years, he has been Professor of Medical and Clinical Psychology and Preventive Medicine and Biometrics at USUHS and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical Center.

In these various positions he has developed: multidisciplinary clinical services in pain and work related musculoskeletal disorders, a PhD program in Clinical Psychology (with USUHS faculty and military stakeholders) for the US Department of Defense, and has conducted research in civilian, military and other federal government settings. He has also provided consultation to hospitals, private practices in orthopedics and rehabilitation, the National Health Service in the UK and other international agencies.

Over the past 14 years his research and that of his students has focused on the needs of cancer patients following primary treatment for cancer; particularly, as it relates to cancer survivorship and work. He is involved in the dissemination of knowledge to improve the quality of health, health care, function and well-being of individuals following cancer diagnosis and treatment. After he was diagnosed, treated for and survived a malignant brain tumor in 2003, Dr. Feuerstein became very active as an advocate for cancer survivors and published a book for Cancer Survivors and their families (The Handbook of Cancer Survivorship) and has edited three textbooks (Handbook of Cancer Survivorship, Work and Cancer and Quality Health Care for Cancer Survivors) directed at health care providers to learn about the challenges experienced by these patients and improve the care they receive. In 2007, he launched a peer- reviewed multidisciplinary journal (The Journal of Cancer Survivorship: Research and Practice) whose mission is to improve evidence- based health care in those living following cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Larissa Nekhlyudov received her BA degree in Biology from Brandeis University and her MD from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
