Gretchen LeFever Watson, PhD, graduated from Boston University, summa cum laude and with distinction in psychology. She earned a doctorate in clinical and developmental psychology from the University of Illinois, Chicago, and completed postdoctoral training in pediatric psychology at Georgetown University Medical School. Mid-career, she received intensive training in the science of safety from nuclear power engineers and national healthcare leaders.
As a clinical psychologist who has worked in academic, healthcare, and business settings for over 20 years, Dr. Watson is passionate about improving the health and safety of individuals, companies, and communities. She was among the first to document drug overtreatment for ADHD in the United States and to demonstrate that disruptive conduct can be successfully reduced through schoolwide behavioral interventions. She has appeared on national TV and radio programs such as CNN Headline News, the PBS News Hour, and The Diane Rehm Show. Her work has been published in an array of scientific journals and has been discussed in popular magazines, including Psychology Today, Science, Popular Science, and The Weekly Standard as well as newspapers across the United States and in Eur
ope.
More recently, Dr. Watson received the Healthcare Hero award from Inside Business for her work in patient safety, graduated from Virginia’s CIVIC Leadership Institute, and was included in a prestigious list of 100 international scientists recognized by the British Medical Journal for their unbiased reviews of health research. She also received the Superintendent’s Quality Award from one of the nation’s largest school districts for her innovative teacher training program that demonstrated improvements in student behavior and learning. She is President of Safety & Leadership Solutions, a consulting firm for organizational safety and change management. Spending time with her daughter and windsurfing with her husband and friends around the world are two of her favorite things to do. She can be reached through her website: drgretchenwatson.com.
