In numerous books Plattner dealt with tried and tested ways of nonviolent, leadership-strong education. In easy-to-understand language, she showed the development of young people from infancy to the beginning of their career. She used experience reports from family, school and professional life as well as results from depth psychology . Elisabeth Plattner worked on the standard work, Pedagogical-Psychological Practice in Higher Schools, published by K. Strunz .

“ Many believe that“ far too much is being brought up ”; they "prefer not to raise their children at all". Is that possible? - Every word, every action, be it while getting dressed, doing housework, in earnest and jokingly, everything that a child hears or sees from us during the day has an effect on mental development. Our role model works - good or bad: it does more than we suspect. Our little ones learn initially only through imitation, not through words - not even through conscious "attempts at education"! (...) Because every child is a special child and every moment brings something new to the daily dealings with children, “recipes” cannot help us in individual cases, often even harm. "

- Elisabeth Plattner
