Listen Later

Glenn and Sebastian were happy to welcome back Dr. Allan Zuckoff to the podcast to discuss ambivalence. Allan is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated the past 30 years to motivational interviewing (MI) research, training, implementation, and practice. As a clinician, teacher, and clinical researcher in the departments of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh for more than two decades, he oversaw intervention development, training, and fidelity monitoring for a dozen clinical trials testing novel applications of MI in substance use, mental health, and health behavior setting; he has presented widely at international meetings and published more than 40 articles and chapters on this work. More recently, he has been responsible for clinical innovation in design and execution of MI-based telehealth advance care planning and patient navigation programs.

 

Allan has been a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT) since 1998. He served for nine years on MINT’s Board of Directors, including three as Chair, and was Editor of the MINT Bulletin and MINT’s online journal, Motivational Interviewing: Training, Research, Implementation, Practice (MITRIP). He has trained professionals from a variety of disciplines on three continents and served as a MINT trainer of trainers. He is the author of the self-guided MI book Finding Your Way to Change: How the Power of Motivational Interviewing Can Reveal What You Want and Help You Get There, published by Guilford Press and available in English, Dutch, Italian, and Spanish.
