John K. Miller, Ph.D.

Honggang Yang, Ph.D., Dean of the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences (SHSS), has announced the appointment of John K. Miller, Ph.D., to the faculty at SHSS. Miller has been appointed as Associate Professor in the Department of Family Therapy (DFT).

Miller is the Director of the Sino-American Family Therapy Institute. His research interests include international issues in counseling, couples, and family therapy (China, Taiwan, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Mexico); innovative clinical service delivery systems; core competencies in psychotherapy, and brief, check-up, and single-session treatment models.

In 2009-2010 Miller won a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar award from the US Department of State to live and conduct research for a year-long project in Beijing, China. He has led several national delegations of western scholars to China and southeast Asia since 2005 and has been a visiting faculty lecturer to many psychology programs in Asia, including Beijing Normal University, Fuzhou University (Fuzhou, China), Tongji University (Shanghai), Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), Royal University of Phnom Penh (Cambodia) and Shaanxi Normal University (X’ian, China). He is actively engaged in several research and scholarly training projects in China and Southeast Asia.

Prior to joining the faculty at SHSS, Miller was a founding faculty member of the Couples and Family Therapy Program at the University of Oregon. During his time in Oregon, he held several leadership positions at the state and national levels including the Presidency of the Oregon Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (OAMFT, 2001-2003). In 2009 he was elected to the Elections Counsel of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) (2004-2007) and to the AAMFT Board of Directors in 2009.

Miller received his Doctor of Philosophy in Marriage and Family from Virginia Tech University and his Master of Arts in Counseling and Family Development and Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Louisiana in Monroe.
