With her research on alcoholism and drug addiction in women, she has made significant contributions to the elaboration of the specific addictions of women, also to the connection between sexual violence and addiction in women, and in particular to the treatment alternatives for women in counseling facilities for women only and in inpatient facilities who offer specific offers for addicted women and have developed corresponding work concepts. Together with the specialist group Women in Psychosocial Work of the German Society for Behavioral Therapy , she has presented fundamental work on the topic of sexual assault in psychotherapy.
