She had an early interest in medicine due to her grandmother having a handicap, but the 1940s were a bad time for women in medicine. However, a year at the University of Michigan gave her a grounding in the sciences and she returned to Chicago and earned a Master's in Human Development in 1947. She married in 1949 and moved to Oregon, where she procured a job as a clinical psychologist. She earned her doctorate in psychology at the University of Portland in 1960. She then worked at Portland State University until joining the Veterans Administration in 1966 as psychologist for the neurology, neurosurgery, and rehab departments. She remained at the VA until 1985 when she joined OHSU's Neurology Department. She was also author of the book Neuropsychological Assessment. In this interview, Dr. Lezak tells of her great interest in traumatic brain injuries, stroke and dementia. 000003282 540__ $$fCC BY-NC 000003282 542__ $$fIn Copyright - Educational Use Permitted 000003282 650__ $$aNeurology$$022846 000003282 650__ $$aNeuropsychiatry$$039075 000003282 650__ $$aPsychology$$024837 000003282 650__ $$aFaculty$$018865 000003282 691__ $$aOregon Health & Science University.
