Dr.
McCloskey has been a faculty member at the Graduate Institute of
Professional
Psychology (GIPP) since the fall of 2002. As a licensed clinical
psychologist
in the state of Connecticut, she
recently
completed two years of providing violence-prevention clinical services
modeled
after the Positive Adolescent Choices Training (PACT) program at a City
of Hartford
middle school.
She also provided live co-therapy supervision to GIPP students
providing these
services at the middle school. While working in Ohio, Dr. McCloskey also served as
the Team
Leader of a multi-professional group providing general mental health
services
to inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women, the state’s only women’s
prison.
She also served as an Assistant Professor and the Clinical Director for
a
batterers’ treatment program housed at the Wright State University
School of
Professional Psychology, providing training to Psy.D. students in the
area of
domestic violence.
In the past, she was a civilian scientist for the U.S. Air
Force as a nationally licensed ergonomist (e.g., research
psychologist), and
was involved in physiological and brain imaging studies concerning
human
workload and workstation design where she eventually headed a
multi-million
dollar effort aimed at measuring human performance in high-g
environments. Her
present research interests involve interpersonal violence prevention
and
intervention, and she and colleague Nancy Grigsby were recently awarded
the
2006 Psychotherapy with Women Award conferred by the Society for the
Psychology
of Women (Division 35) of the American Psychological Association for
their
article entitled, “The Ubiquitous Clinical Problem of Adult
Intimate Partner
Violence” The Need for Routine Assessment.” Dr. McCloskey’s
present
teaching interests center on the development of multicultural
competency
curricula and training for the next generation of clinical
psychologists.
