Professor

Psychology

Dr. Grych’s primary research interests focus on understanding factors that promote resilience in children and adolescents exposed to chronic stress, trauma, and discrimination. We are particularly interested in families and schools as contexts for healthy development. We also have longstanding interests in the study and measurement of aggression in family and romantic relationships and in the prevention of intimate partner violence.

Research Lab: Resilience and Relationships Lab

Education

Ph.D., U of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1991

Courses Taught

At the undergraduate level, Dr. Grych teaches Psychology of Marriage and Family, Introduction to Psychology, and Child Psychopathology. At the graduate level, he teaches courses on child psychopathology, models of psychotherapy, and couples/family therapy, and supervises clinical practica.

Research Interests

My students and I currently are conducting research in two areas. First, we are working with several organizations in Milwaukee to study sources of resilience in Latine adolescents. We are particularly interested in identifying cultural and community factors that promote healthy development in these youths and their families. Second, we are partnering with Marquette’s Center for Peacemaking and Milwaukee Public Schools to evaluate a program for students at risk for suspension that is based on restorative justice principles and a wholistic approach to mental health and well-being.
