Lucie HolmgreenFaculty

Associate Professor in Psychological Science

Dr. Holmgreen's research integrates clinical and social psychological approaches. She studies trauma (bad things that happen to us) and attachment (the way we think, feel, and behave in close relationships). She is particularly interested in the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reasons for the cyclical nature of trauma - that is, the reasons that experiencing trauma makes experiencing further trauma even more likely. In some cases, this involves studying harmful behaviors. Additionally, she is interested in the ways institutions respond to individuals' traumatic experiences and the way these responses impact mental health. Some of Dr. Holmgreen's research uses correlational survey designs, and some is experimental. She primarily studies college students, who are at high risk of certain kinds of trauma victimization or perpetration. 

Education

Dr. Holmgreen received her B.A. from Ohio State University and her M.S. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Marquette University in Milwaukee. She completed her internship at a VA hospital and Indian Health Service in Albuquerque and a two-year postdoctoral fellowship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago.
