PATRICE MARIE MILLER attended Swarthmore College (1968-1970) and obtained her B.A. in Psychology, cum laude, from New York University in 1972. She obtained her Ed.M in 1979 and her Ed.D. in 1988 from Human Development and Psychology at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Since 1993, she has been at the Department of Psychology, Salem State University, where she now is a Full Professor. Since 1994, she has also been a Research Associate in the Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, and since 1998 she has been the Coordinator of the M.S. Program in Counseling & Psychological Services at Salem State University. Dr. Miller has broad interests in developmental psychology. One long-standing interest has been in the social and emotional development of children, and the influence of early experiences, parenting, socioeconomic background and culture on development. Along with collaborators, Dr. Miller also works on applying the Model of Hierarchical Complexity, a model that explains stages of development, to the success of graduate students, to understanding how smart different animals are, and to other interesting problems.
