We extend the perturbative approach developed in an earlier work to deal with Lagrangians which have arbitrary higher order time derivative terms for both bosons and fermions. This approach enables us to find an effective Lagrangian with only first time derivatives order by order in the coupling constant. As in the pure bosonic case, to the first order, the quantized Hamiltonian is bounded from below whenever the potential is. We show in the example of a single complex fermion that higher derivative interactions result in an effective mass and change of vacuum for the low energy modes. The supersymmetric noncommutative Wess-Zumino model is considered as another example. We also comment on the higher derivative terms in Witten's string field theory and the effectiveness of level truncation.

Canonical quantization for effective theories with perturbations altering degrees of freedom: a covariant phase space approach
Covariant phase space formalism enables perturbative canonical quantization of higher-derivative perturbed theories, verified on a solvable 2D charged particle model where perturbative results match exact expansion.

Canonical quantization of the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator with a higher-derivative perturbation: a covariant phase space approach
A covariant phase-space perturbation scheme for the Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator reproduces the exact low-energy spectrum and commutator while decoupling the Ostrogradsky ghost.
