Alan Miller, Ph.D. died of cancer on February 9th in Scotsdale Arizona. A student of Israel Regardie in the 70s, Miller was perhaps better known under his pseudonym, Dr. Christopher S. Hyatt, as the author of Undoing Yourself with Energized Meditation, The Psychopath’s Bible and numerous other works published by his company New Falcon Press, and was the founder of the Extreme Individual Institute (EII).
Alan R. Miller
Scottsdale, AZ–Alan Miller, Ph.D., into eternity at 9:09 AM, February 9, 2008, after a heroic battle with cancer.
Alan was Born July 12, 1943, in Chicago, IL to Leonard Miller and Bertha Freidman. At 17 he left High School, and joined the United States Navy.
Later he obtained his GED during his military service, and upon separation from the navy, embarked upon his long and impressive academic journey. His academic career began at Los Angeles City College, where he studied accounting. He then obtained a BA degree from Cal State Los Angeles, an MA in Psychology from Cal State Los Angeles, an Advanced M.Ed from The University of Southern California, a Ph.D. in Psychology at Western University as well as another Ph.D. in human behavior from USIU. His specialty was in experimental and clinical psychology, and he practiced as a psychotherapist for many years and operated his own Freudian clinic in Southern California.
Alan was an accomplished, and sea worthy sailor, who once embarked upon a journey to sail around the world. He founded and led the 1st AIDS SAILATHON, which raised money for AIDS research by sailing from Long Beach, Ca to Honolulu, Hi in 1993. He was best known as an accomplished writer; writing under the pen name Christopher Hyatt, Ph.D. He authored well over 70 books, many of which pertained to the “Occult” and “Magick.” His interest in the occult began in his early twenties. His desire to further pursue his studies in magick resulted in meeting Israel Regardie in the 1970s. Regardie introduced him to Reichian therapy, which he insisted Alan learn prior to any magickal pursuits. Regardie further instructed Alan in the magickal system of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.
He is survived by Linda Miller, his loving and faithful wife of 30 years, his son Michael R. Miller, his daughter Farrah Miller, his Aunt Dorothy Mallin, and three first cousins: Bob Rosen, MD, Toby Silverstein, and Michael Freidman.
The above comes from Dr. Hyatt’s website. New Falcon has also posted an announcement.
I’ve reviewed a number of his books over the years and consistently found them to be uniquely entertaining takes on subjects many fear to explore - or even admit interesting. It’s a shame no more will be written.
RIP Dr. Hyatt.
