Dr. Una McCluskey is a part-time Senior Research Fellow at the University of York and a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist (UKCP). Best known for her extensive research in the field of empathic attunement in adult psychotherapy, Dr McCluskey introduced the concept that the \'offer to treat\' arouses the dynamics of attachment in both the careseeker and the caregiver. This concept forms part of the emerging therapeutic model called \'Exploratory Goal-Corrected Psychotherapy\', (EGCP). She has published numerous articles in the field of couple, family and group psychotherapy and is the author of: To be Met as a Person: The Dynamics of Attachment in Therapeutic Encounters, Karnac Books, 2005, and Attachment Therapy for Adolescents and Adults: Theory and Practice Post Bowlby, Karnac Books, 2009 (co-authored with Dorothy Heard and Brain Lake).

Dr McCluskey regularly speaks at a number of international conferences, including the American Group Psychotherapy Conference. In June 2014 she delivered a keynote address at the International Conference on Dementia, \'Risky Business\' in Sydney. She was presented with the VIDA Award by the Group Psychotherapy Association of Southern California in appreciation and recognition of her contribution to the field of psychotherapy.
