Biography

Dr. Holland has pursued an interdisciplinary education and career with the belief that such a background helps inform one as a clinician and educator. He graduated from Oberlin College with a B.A. in English. His Ph.D. is in clinical psychology, with a focus on both children and adults, from Southern Illinois University. Dr. Holland subsequently did his internship in clinical neuropsychology and rehabilitation psychology at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. He then completed a two-year post-doctoral residency in clinical neuropsychology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and later earned a Masters of Public Health through Tulane University. He was the Director of the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Program at the University of Missouri School of Medicine for three years, and was then a Professor of Psychology at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock for 9 years, where he was Director of the Health Psychology Program, and Founder and Director of the Mindfulness-Based Health Program. Dr. Holland has had cross-appointments in the College of Public Health and College of Nursing in the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. He then accepted a position as a Polytrauma Neuropsychologist at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, where he worked in the Polytrauma Rehabilitation Center with veterans who had multiple and complex conditions, including traumatic brain injury and PTSD. He has received a number of fellowships that have supported his work as a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist with an interdisciplinary focus, including being a two-time Fulbright Fellow (Slovakia and Austria); a Contemplative Practice Fellow of the American Council of Learned Societies; a Fellow of the Solomon Asch Center for Study of Ethnopolitical Conflict at the University of Pennsylvania; a Research Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars; and a Mary E. Switzer Distinguished Fellow in Rehabilitation Research through the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research/U.S. Department of Education. Much of his career has been dedicated to understanding and addressing disability issues at the individual, community, national, and international levels. Dr. Holland is board certified in Clinical Psychology and Rehabilitation Psychology, American Board of Professional Psychology, and is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (Divisions 52 and 12) and the Association of Psychological Science.
