Brian Burke
is a clinical psychologist whose principal academic interests include
motivational interviewing and college teaching. Dr. Burke recently
published the lead article in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology
that featured a meta-analysis of studies evaluating the efficacy of
motivational interviewing. Motivational interviewing is a promising
and relatively new treatment for substance abuse and other problem
behaviors that combines the humanistic elements of client-centered therapy
(Carl Rogers) with more active strategies (e.g., cognitive-behavior
therapy) designed to facilitate human change. Dr. Burke has brought
this exciting new treatment to FLC in his Counseling Skills class as well
as his work the Wellness Peer Educators. Further, Dr. Burke has a
degree in college teaching and regularly attends teaching conferences on
the scholarship of learning and teaching, twice winning the Doug Bernstein
Poster Award for innovative teaching ideas, and winning the New Faculty
Teaching Award at Fort
Lewis College
in 2005. Dr. Burke also advises the Psychology Club and Psi Chi,
and works part-time at the FLC student counseling center in order to hone
his clinical/counseling skills. Dr. Burke originally hails from Montreal, Canada, and received his Ph.D.
from the University
of Arizona in
2003. He has been a licensed psychologist in the State of Colorado since
November 2004.
