In the 1980s and early 1990s, he founded the subject of clinical child psychology in the German-speaking world . In 1991 he took over the newly created chair for clinical psychology and diagnostics at the University of Bremen. Together with representatives of the Hannover Medical School, he founded the Rehabilitation Science Research Association of Lower Saxony-Bremen and has headed it since 1998.

Together with his wife, the child psychologist Ulrike Petermann , he set up an outpatient clinic for children and adolescents in 2008 in order to research and work primarily in the field of anxiety disorders and depressive disorders.

Act

In 1995 he founded the interdisciplinary center for clinical psychology and rehabilitation (ZKPR), which he has been director since then. He and his employees are involved in the development and evaluation of training procedures as well as psychological test procedures for children, adolescents and parents. Numerous intervention and test procedures have been developed under his leadership, which are continuously evaluated and optimized. Are known violence prevention programs in the field of aggression treatment, for example training with young people , and training with aggressive children that have been translated into several languages. ZKPR publications appear in the magazine Kindheit und Entwicklung , which was founded in 1992 by Gerhard Neuhäuser, Franz Petermann and Martin H. Schmidt .

Petermann worked in the field of psychological test development. On the basis of David Wechsler's intelligence concept , he was involved in the further development of the Hamburg Wechsler Intelligence Test for Children (HAWIK-IV), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-IV), the Wechsler Memory Scale (WMS-IV) from 2007 , the Wechsler Nonverbal Scale of Ability (WNV) and the development test six months to six years (ET 6-6) . An essential goal is to make diagnostic survey methods usable in practice (e.g. in the context of child development monitoring, EBD 3-48).
