Alice Miller (b. 1923) is a psychologist noted for her work in child development and its relationship to society. She is a strong anti- Freudianist and belongs to the anti-pedagogy school, holding that most depressions and other mental illnesses are caused by methods commonly used in childrearing.

She was born in Poland, and raised and educated in Switzerland. She gained her doctorate in 1953 in Zurich, Swizerland.

In the nineties Miller strongly supported a new method from J. Konrad Stettbacher who was later charged with incidents of sexual abuse. Since then she refuses to bring forward therapist or method recommendations but critics insist she never explained how she could fall for Stettbacher.
