Motivational Interviewing - Molly Mallegis

Lessons from the Lab: The Gifts of MI

Glenn and Sebastian welcomed Dr. Molly Magill for another edition of Lessons from the Lab, where she discusses her research and what she refers to as the Gifts of MI. Dr. Magill is currently an Associate Research Professor in the Department of Behavioral and Social Sciences in the Brown University School of Public Health. Dr. Magill is also the Director of Biostatistics at the Brown University Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies. Dr. Magill’s broad area of study is mechanisms of behavior change in psychosocial treatment for alcohol and other drug use disorders.  The goal of this work is to guide intervention development and refinement.  In her most recent research, she is focused on therapist or counselor training methods that are based on common factors of established behavioral interventions.
