Oral Histories

Hogarty, Gerard

Biographical Sketch:
Gerard E. Hogarty, who was a renowned schizophrenia researcher and a professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine for more than three decades, didn’t see the need to obtain a doctorate.

Under the subtitle of postgraduate education on his curriculum vitae, he cited his “privately acquired knowledge in biostatistics, psychiatric epidemiology and the conduct of clinical psychopharmacology trials” and his “independent study” into the neuropsychology of schizophrenia disorders.

Mr. Hogarty grew up in Boston and attended seminary after high school graduation. When he realized he wanted to pursue a different path, he went to Catholic University in Washington, D.C., to complete a bachelor’s degree in 1958 and a master’s degree in social work in 1960.
