Dr. Dawn I. Velligan Dr Dawn Velligan is a Professor in the Department of Psychiatry; Chief of the Division of Community Recovery, Research and Training; and Henry B. Dielmann Chair at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, TX. Dr Dawn Velligan received her training in clinical psychology at the University of California and Mental Health Clinical Research Center for Schizophrenia in Los Angeles. In 1989, Dr Velligan moved to Texas to assist in the development of a psychosis treatment and research unit. Dr Velligan’s internationally recognized research program focuses on the development and testing of psychosocial treatments to improve medication effectiveness, provide integrated clinical care, and improve outcomes in schizophrenia. She developed Cognitive Adaptation Training (CAT) a unique treatment system designed to bypass the cognitive problems observed in serious mental illness and improve functional outcomes. Dr Velligan has dedicated her career to developing and delivering state-of-the-art psychosocial treatments to make lives better for those with serious mental illness. CAT has been disseminated to countries around the world. Dr Velligan’s latest work has included the development of a Transitional Care Clinic (TCC) with a novel group intake format to ensure rapid access to care for individuals transitioning out of emergency departments or inpatient psychiatric units. The TCC has changed the face of clinical care in San Antonio and become a model for overburdened mental health care systems across the country. Dr Velligan is author of numerous publications in high-impact journals, and she has received grant funding from the National Institute of Health, The Brain and Behavior Research Foundation (NARSAD), industry, and private foundations. She frequently serves as a consultant to industry and scientific investigators in the areas of symptom assessment, medication adherence, integrated care, and outcomes research.
