Our team members introduce themselves - Part 4

We would like to introduce you to the members of our Chair in more detail.

"My collaboration with Prof Dr Anna-Lena Zietlow began in 2021 with my Master's thesis at the University of Mannheim, which I wrote on the connections between the physiological regulatory capacity of infants, maternal peripartum psychopathology and longitudinal socio-emotional development. In October 2022, I began postgraduate training as a psychological psychotherapist in the guideline procedure of behavioural therapy. At the same time, I continued to work in Prof. Dr Anna-Lena Zietlow's research team, so that in March 2023 I presented current research results on the topic of biobehavioural synchrony together with Ines Brenner at a symposium at the 2nd DPK.

I am delighted to have been awarded the Maria Reiche Doctoral Fellowship at TU Dresden and to be able to start my doctorate at the Chair of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology in January 2024. In my doctoral project, I am investigating the extent to which the consideration of early interactional experiences as risk factors for child development and the transmission of parental psychopathologies benefits from the integration of biobehavioural measures.I will also be able to use the synergy effects between my practical clinical work and research when it comes to designing interventions based on the results of my research questions that focus on both parental risk factors and early biobehavioural dysfunctions in the context of early parent-child interactions."
