Ryan Shorey

Ryan Shorey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), affiliated with the College of Letters & Science. He holds roles in the Graduate Admissions Committee and serves as Co-Director of Clinical Training. His research focuses on adult clinical psychology with emphasis on intimate partner violence (IPV), substance misuse, and mindfulness-based interventions. He earned a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee - Knoxville in 2014.

Dr. Shorey's research integrates two core areas: risk factors for IPV/sexual assault and substance use disorder treatment efficacy. His work examines how substance abuse influences IPV dynamics, particularly in marginalized populations. Recent studies emphasize intersectional factors like gender identity, sexual orientation, and minority stress in alcohol-related IPV and sexual assault.

Publications consistently address IPV perpetration/victimization, alcohol/substance use correlations, and trauma outcomes. His lab (SURF Lab) develops prevention/intervention programs targeting high-risk groups. No specific grants are highlighted in the provided text, but ongoing studies involve ecological momentary assessment methodologies and longitudinal designs.
