After receiving his doctorate from Columbia University he served as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Michigan’s Research Development Center on Poverty, Risk, and Mental Health. Dr. Holter’s overarching research goal is to produce knowledge that facilitates reintegration for persons with severe mental illness into normal life roles such as education, employment, and community living. He has developed nationally recognized expertise in the methodology of program evaluation, especially issues of program model fidelity, and in assessing the costs and resources necessary to deliver such programs. Dr. Holter publishes widely in professional journals and served as principal and co-principal investigator on a range of federally and state funded investigations of mental health services research.
