Dr. Abram Hoffer died in Victoria, British Colombia, Canada on Wednesday, May 27 at age 91. Hoffer was a close collaborator with Humphry Osmond. Together they pioneered LSD-assisted psychotherapy as a treatment for alcoholism. Abram’s work with alcoholism led to a close friendship with Bill Wilson (Bill W.), the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous. With the prohibition of psychedelic drugs, Hoffer focused the remainder of his career on orthomolecular psychiatry, applying nutritional therapies to alcoholism and schizophrenia. He authored more than 500 peer-reviewed papers and 30 academic monographs.
