Psychology
When issues of anxiety, friendship, bullying, school transitions, or the social development of children and adolescents are discussed, Assistant Professor of Psychology Julie Newman Kingery immediately comes to mind. While a new faculty member at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Kingery has already made an impact at Loyola College in Maryland, the University of Maine, and at The Johns Hopkins University of Medicine with her expertise in the fields of Developmental and Clinical Psychology.
Kingery is a passionate instructor, who always looks for ways that the material she is teaching applies to real life situations, a characteristic which makes interviewing her both exciting and easy to understand. Her research explores factors that put youth at risk for developing problems with anxiety, as well as the prevention and treatment of anxiety. This research has been published in several prestigious journals, the latest of which is "Transporting CBT for childhood anxiety disorders into inner city school-based mental health clinics," which appeared in Cognitive and Behavioral Practice. Kingery has also spent years studying the impact of peer group acceptance and friendship on children's emotional and academic adjustment, particularly across the transition to middle school.
Her scholarly interests reflect her dedication to helping kids who feel shy or worried face situations such as making friends, attending summer camp and sleepovers, or starting a new school year. Kingery is also passionate about providing parents and teachers with tips on managing challenging behavior problems, dealing with issues of peer victimization, helping kids cope with anxiety and depression, and facilitating positive adjustment across school transitions.
