Good morning all!
Just wanted to reach out to the wealth of knowledge here, as I'm having a hard time finding prospective POIs for my second attempt at PhD applications. I am glad for the second round, as I've really developed more experience and specificity in my research goals.
I am interested in researching the interaction between veterans' mental health and veteran criminality. I was recently picked up for publication in a US Naval Institute, peer-reviewed journal, and I wrote about this very subject. I have found that many of the author's of my referenced articles are professors in Psychiatry, not Psychology.
Can anyone here recommend a program that may be a good fit? I have a "working list in progress," but the closest matches are usually forensic or veteran's mental health, rather than both. I am open to broadening my research, but not too far. How do you navigate applications when you may not perfectly match up with a POIs current projects, but feel that your interests can build off their foundation, albeit in a new direction?
Thanks for any and all insight!
