Joshua Miller (psychologist)

Joshua D. Miller is an American clinical psychologist and personality researcher. He is a professor of psychology in the University of Georgia's Franklin College of Arts and Sciences, as well as the Director of Clinical Training for the Department of Psychology.[1] He is known for his research on the conceptualization of Personality Disorders, with a specific focus on psychopathy, narcissism, and externalizing behaviors.

Dr. Miller's program of research is informed by work on the general structure of personality, specifically the Five Factor Model of personality. Using this framework, he has published numerous articles[2] linking structural models of personality to personality disorders and to psychopathology more broadly. Dr. Miller has been a vocal advocate for trait-based approaches to personality disorder diagnosis, and he has published research examining the Alternate Model of Personality Disorder diagnosis included in the DSM-5. He also has specific interest in examining the different nomological networks of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism. Additionally, he is also active in research examining the structure of psychopathy, including debates about what components are most central (i.e., Antagonism) and which are more peripheral (i.e., Boldness/Fearless Dominance).
