Biography:

Dr Brian McGuire is a graduate of NUI, Galway and has also completed a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology (Sydney), a Diploma in Criminology (Sydney), a Diploma in Health Science (Clinical Teaching, NUI Galway) and a PhD in clinical psychology (Sydney). He worked initially as a research psychologist in brain injury rehabilitation in London. He then moved to Sydney where he spent the next 10 years lecturing in psychology at several universities and working as a clinical psychologist. His clinical work was initially in the area of learning disability and challenging behaviour, before he moved into private practice where his work focused on medicolegal assessment and the rehabilitation of persons with chronic pain, acquired brain impairment, and those recovering from work and motor accidents. It was in that context that his interest in symptom magnification and malingering developed and he completed his PhD in that area. After leaving Australia, Brian was Consultant Clinical Psychologist in brain injury rehabilitation where he co-ordinated the clinical services of several in-patient rehabilitation units in the north of England. After returning to Ireland, Brian worked with the Galway Association learning disability service. He joined NUI, Galway in 2003 and is currently Director of the Doctor of Psychological Science programme in Clinical Psychology and Joint Director of the Centre for Pain Research.

Research Interests

Brian's research interests lie in clinical health psychology and behavioural medicine, especially pain management, diabetes and psychological treatment in chronic health problems.
