Jackie L. Grimesey
Graduate of Seattle University's master's program in Existential - Phenomenological psychology. Presently a doctoral candidate in psychology from Duquesne University and expect to defend my dissertation next March. An adjunct instructor in undergraduate psychology at Seattle University. The majority of my professional and academic work has focused on the interpersonal implications of human violence. Prior to graduate school, I worked with victims and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence as a social worker in grassroots non-profit agencies for over 10 years. During my graduate training, I have worked toward a more comprehensive approach that seeks to address the experience of all parties involved. I have spent the last three years working clinically with combat veterans and their families through Veterans' Administration Hospitals, focusing on the reintegration of families to address combat trauma in such a way that familial perpetuation of trauma dynamics can be arrested. I find the philosophy of Emmanuel Levinas to be particularly helpful in understanding such dynamics and in formulating solutions to the tragedy of interpersonal violence.
