Dr. Brian McGuire is a Senior Lecturer in Clinical Psychology. A graduate of NUI, Galway, he has completed a Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology (Macquarie University, Sydney), a Diploma in Criminology (University of Sydney), a Diploma in Clinical Teaching (NUI, Galway) and a PhD in clinical psychology (Macquarie University, 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 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 chronic pain and acquired brain injury. 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 in York, England. After returning to Ireland, Brian worked with the Galway Association learning disability service. He joined NUIG 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. His clinical work is primarily in behavioural medicine, such as pain management and diabetes care. His research interests are in pain management, diabetes, and adjustment to chronic physical illness.
