Timeline

1929

Daniel Offer (December 24, 1929 – May 13, 2013) was a psychiatrist and scholar who challenged prevailing beliefs that adolescence is inherently a time of storm and stress.

His Offer Longitudinal Study was one of the first studies of typical youth over time and demonstrated that most pass through adolescence adequately happy and connected to families and others.

This contribution shifted fundamentally how adolescent development was understood scientifically and provoked recognition that theory from patient populations was inadequate.

He is also remembered for his scholarship on normality, the viability of memory, the Offer Self Image Questionnaire and for fostering the field of adolescent developmental studies.

Daniel Offer was born in Berlin, Germany on December 24, 1929.

He is the son of Walter Hirsch, M.D. a pediatrician, and Ilse Hirsch, née Meyer.

He is a grandson of Professor Ludwig Ferdinand Meyer, M.D., a pediatric gastroenterologist and Director of the Emperor and Empress Friedrich Children’s Hospital in Berlin, Germany.

1961

Offer was married to Judith Baskin Offer from 1961 until her death in 1976.

1963

In 1963 Offer realized that very little was known about the development of normal (i.e. non-patient) adolescents.

He received eight years of federal grants to study the psychological development of normal adolescents.

In the first phase of the study seventy three boys were selected from two suburban Chicago area high school and followed for eight years.

The major finding for the high school phase was that stability and not turmoil, was the overriding characteristic of normal adolescents.

This finding contradicted the then current notion of normal development.

At that time it was believed that all adolescents go through major turmoil as they move through the high school years.

The four years of the post high school phase of the school substantiated this finding.

Two books resulted from the adolescent phase of the study.
