His publications include over 50 books and 400 articles and chapters. Fundamentally interested in the psychology of change, he has focused in particular on the development, testing, and dissemination of behavioral therapies. He has been a consultant to many organizations including the United States Senate, the World Health Organization, the National Academy of Sciences, and the National Institutes of Health. In recognition of his research contributions, Dr. Miller is a recipient of the international Jellinek Memorial Award, two career achievement awards from the American Psychological Association, and an Innovators in Combating Substance Abuse award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

His books have been translated into 23 languages, and the Institute for Scientific Information has listed him as one of the world’s most cited scientists. His latest book, Listening Well, is focused on empathy as a vital skill, as something we don’t just feel, but do, another obvious connection with Monty Roberts’ work.
