Hans Hoff was one of the few Jewish emigrant doctors who returned to Vienna and regained a prominent position at the Medical Faculty after World War II. During the war he had worked as a neurologist in Bagdad and New York and brought his experience with a different scientific culture back to Europe. Due to the influences of his former teachers he created the multifactorial genesis of psychiatric diseases. As a representative of the Mental Health Movement he promoted many initiatives in this field.
