About The Process

The Negative Love Syndrome and
the Quadrinity Model©

A Path to Personal Freedom and Love

by Bob Hoffman


Robert Hoffman (1921-1997)

Written by Bob Hoffman, this entire booklet offers substantial insights into the principles on which The Hoffman Quadrinity Process is based. It is available in its entirety via web links below, as a PDF download and as a free printed booklet upon request.
Renowned for his intuitive capacities, Bob Hoffman was a gifted and generous man dedicated to awakening people to the awesome power of love that dwells within each of us. He believed that unconditional love was the birthright of every human being. Mr. Hoffman embedded his profound yet elegantly simple theory of the Negative Love Syndrome into a powerful experiential learning modality known as the Hoffman Quadrinity Process.

Hoffman’s basic insight came to him in 1967. For the next five years he collaborated with psychotherapists and psychiatrists to help individuals on a one-to-one basis. In 1972, he and noted psychiatrist Claudio Naranjo, M.D., began presenting Hoffman’s method as a 13 week course in a group setting. He called it the "Fischer-Hoffman Process" in honor of the late Siegfried Fischer, M. D.. Over the next 12 years, the Fisher-Hoffman Process gained a reputation for producing deep and lasting results.

In 1976 he authored Getting Divorced from Mother and Dad, published by E. P. Dutton and Co., Inc. It was later republished under the title No One is to Blame, Freedom from Compulsive Self-Defeating Behavior, available from the Hoffman Institute Foundation.

In 1985 Hoffman reformatted his program into an 8-day residential intensive, renamed it the Hoffman Quadrinity Process, and then initiated an eight year period of inspired development and refinement. Today the Hoffman Quadrinity Process is presented in twelve countries to some 5000 participants each year.

Mr. Hoffman retired from teaching the Process in 1991. He remained active in his work until his death in 1997.
