She was a senior psychotherapist at the Institute for Psychosomatic Medicine , Psychotherapy and Medical Psychology at the University of Munich . Her main research interests included the doctor-patient relationship , gender differences and ethical issues in medicine and society. With her two-volume habilitation thesis on cancer aftercare, she established a psychosomatic view of oncology. She described the phenomenon of a "wooden" appearance of psychosomatically ill patients due to a lack of emotionality and the difficulty in combining actions with feelings and fantasies as Pinocchio's syndrome .

Sellschopp criticized already in the 1970s that psychological assistance to women who participated in cancer ill, inserting too late and could find the psychosomatic aspects too little consideration. This would mean that existing chances of recovery would not be used.

The Deutsches Ärzteblatt called her the “ grande dame ” of psycho-oncology. In 2012 she conducted an interview with Margarete Mitscherlich about aging and death , which became known because Mitscherlich died four days after this interview.
