Dr. Kathleen L. Valentine received her Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1989.

In this CV, Dr. Valentine states: “The Primary focus of my publications has been to report on methods and findings from studies that I conducted that involve caring and how it matters to individuals, families, and systems. As president of the International Association for Human Caring [1996 – 1999] I initiated the International Journal for Human Caring, to help disseminate care/caring scholarly work. Some of my most recent work is in analyzing and synthesizing findings across studies of caring. I was the founding Editor and continued as Editor from 1997-2001.”
