Program of Research

Dr. Keenan's program of research on developmental psychopathology spans several developmental periods and types of disorders.  The integrative thread running through each study is the aim of identifying the earliest indicators of individual risk factors that connote risk for psychopathology and the environmental factors that are associated with  the transition from risk to the expression of a disorder.  This work is designed to be relevant to the understanding of etiological mechanisms and to the development of clinical assessment strategies and early intervention.
