Susan Timmer conducts research on the effectiveness of parent-child interaction therapy in high-risk populations, the barriers to the receipt of mental health services, and the efficacy of adjunct in-home services and other adjustments to treatment protocol. As part of this effort to improve the quality of mental health services for high-risk families, her research also explores the relationship between family and cultural values, the meanings attributed to parents' and children's behaviors, and children's psychological adjustment.
