Dr. Abram Hoffer - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Dr. Abram Hoffer, associate professor, Research Psychiatry, Department of Medicine.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Abram Hoffer was born in 1917 at the small Jewish settlement of Sonnenfeld, Saskatchewan, near Estevan. He studied successively at the University of Saskatchewan (BSc 1938; MS 1940), the University of Minnesota (PhD 1944), and the University of Toronto (MD 1945). After graduation he took a position as director of psychiatric research in the Psychiatric Services branch of the Saskatchewan Department of Public Health. Dr. Hoffer began work on the effects of hallucinogens in the 1950s. He believed that megavitamin therapy and other nutritional interventions were potentially effective treatments for schizophrenia and other diseases. Dr. Hoffer was also involved in studies of LSD as an experimental therapy for alcoholism and the discovery that high-dose niacin can be used to treat high cholesterol and other dyslipidemias. Dr. Hoffer's ideas about megavitamin therapy to treat mental illness were not accepted by the medical community. In 1959 he addressed the Conference on Parapsychology and Psychedelics in New York, and in the following year published, with Dr. Humphrey Osmond, the Chemical Concepts of Psychiatry (1960). Dr. Hoffer and Dr. Osmond also worked together on Hallucinogens (1967) and both contributed to Clinical and Other Uses of the Hoffer-Osmond Diagnostic Test (1975). In the 1970s he concentrated his research on problems of nutrition. Dr. Hoffer’s books include How to Live with Schizophrenia (1978), Orthomolecular Nutrition (with Morton Walker, 1978), Nutrients to Age Without Senility (1980), and Ortho-Molecular Nutrition (with Morton Walker, 1981). Dr. Hoffer died in 2009 in Victoria, British Columbia, at age 91.

Rose Hoffer - Portrait

Head and shoulders image of Rose Hoffer, wife of Dr. Abram Hoffer, Associate Professor, Research Psychiatry, Department of Medicine.

Bio/Historical Note: The adage, "behind every great man is a great woman" has never been more beautifully exemplified than by the almost sixty-year relationship of Rose Beatrice (Miller) Hoffer (1920-2001) and Abram Hoffer (1917-2009). But in Rose's case, as they married in 1942, she was clearly beside her husband, not behind him. Her support and encouragement were essential to Abram's success; she shared his vision and provided a challenging sounding board for his ideas, and Rose was the major influence that persuaded Abram to study medicine. Rose's opinion of others was highly regarded by Abram, that her judgment was crucial to his decision process. As with many struggling families in the 1940s and 1950s, the Hoffers endured much hardship and separation. Rose cared for her two boys, Bill and John, alone in Saskatoon while Abram completed his last two years of medicine in Toronto. Abram was unable to attend the birth of their third child, Miriam, who was born while he was writing his final medical exams. Later, as Director of Psychiatric Research in Regina, Abram sought to improve the treatment of his schizophrenic patients. Rose also always embraced those in need, providing them with patience, insight and care. After Abram’s retirement in 1976, he and Rose moved to Victoria, British Columbia. In 1980 she, along with her good friend, Muriel Warrington, combined 25 years of Abram's work in orthomolecular medicine with her experience as a homemaker and mother to write a book of recipes for wholesome, nutrient-rich snacks. "Everybody's Favorite Orthomolecular Muffin Book" was published by Keats. Rose participated in every "Nutritional Medicine Today" Conference until the spring of 2001, when she was too ill to travel. Rose died in Victoria on 6 August 2001 at age 81.

The latter association honoured Dr. Hutcheon with its "Distinguished Service Award" in 1967 and with the "F. Paul Anderson Award" in 1975, the highest award for "notable scientific achievement." The U of S awarded him an honourary Doctor of Laws degree in 1975. The Neil Hutcheon Prize is awarded annually by the College of Engineering.
