Biography

Ernest N. Jouriles is the chair of the Department of Psychology at Southern Methodist University. He is also co-director of SMU’s Family Research Center. Dr. Jouriles is a leading authority on family violence and child functioning. His groundbreaking research on the effects of children’s exposure to marital conflict and violence has prompted new theories on how inter-parent conflict influences children. He has also conducted pioneering research on interventions for children in families characterized by frequent and severe intimate partner violence. More recently, he has begun a research program on the prevention of violence in adolescent romantic relationships.

Dr. Jouriles received his Ph.D. in Psychology from the State University of New York, Stony Brook. His research has been funded by national and state agencies including the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Justice, the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, the Texas Higher Education Coordination Board, and the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. He has been recognized for his research with an early career award from the Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy.
