Dr. rer. nat. Johanna Petzoldt conducted research on peripartum mental disorders related to early infant development in the MARI study at the Institute of Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy from 2011 to 2017. She received her PhD in 2017 on the topic of maternal anxiety and excessive infant crying. Then, she devoted herself to her training as a psychological psychotherapist. Since 2020, she has been providing freelance counseling to (expectant) parents on the topics of partnership, pregnancy, and parenthood (www.relativ-einfach.com). Since February 2023 she has been working as a post-doc at the Chair of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. In her research, she is primarily interested in risk factors, prevention and intervention approaches for early regulation problems (crying, sleeping and feeding problems). She is particularly interested in stress factors and communication difficulties within the parent-child triad.
