Biography
Kirsten is interested in studying the influence of cultural and psychosocial predictors, such as help seeking, beliefs about civilians, resentment, regret, and regimentation, on reintegration, as measured by genuine relationships, sense of purpose, service to others, and physical and mental health, among veterans as they transition from military service to civilian status.
