Stefan G. Hofmann, Ph.D. (he/him/his)

Philipps University of Marburg, Germany
CENTERVILLE, Massachusetts, United States

Stefan G. Hofmann is the Alexander von Humboldt Professor of Translational Clinical Psychology and the LOEWE top professor at the Philipps University of Marburg in Germany. He was born in a little town near Stuttgart in Germany, which may explain his thick German accent. He studied psychology at the Philipps University of Marburg, Germany, where he received his B.A., M.S., and Ph.D. A brief dissertation fellowship to spend some time at Stanford University turned into a longer research career in the United States. He was professor at Boston University between 1996 and 2023 and received an Alexander von Humboldt Professorship to return to his alma mater, the Philipps University of Marburg, Germany, in 2021. He now lives in Frankfurt, Germany, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Dr. Hofmann has an actively funded research program studying various aspects of emotional disorders with a particular emphasis on mood and anxiety disorders, cognitive behavioral therapy, and neuroscience. He is co-developer of Process-based Therapy. He has won many prestigious professional awards, including the 2021 Alexander von Humboldt Professorship and the 2015 Aaron T. Beck Award for Significant and Enduring Contributions to the Field of Cognitive Therapy by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy. He was president of various national and international professional societies, including ABCT and the International Association for Cognitive Psychotherapy. He was an advisor to the DSM-5 Development Process and a member of the DSM-5 Anxiety Disorder Sub-Work Group. Since 2016, he has been identified as a Highly Cited Researcher. Dr. Hofmann has been the editor in chief of Cognitive Therapy and Research since 2012. He has published more than 500 peer-reviewed journal articles and 20 books. At leisure, he enjoys traveling to immerse himself into new cultures, make new friends, and reconnect with old ones. When time permits, he occasionally gets out his flute.
