Brother's work revolves around the question - inspired by Herbert Marcuse - why rule is so stable that its story is only interrupted by brief moments of liberation. The starting point is the work of Brother's work on the criticism of psychology that was created during the years of the student movement within the framework of the projects of the criticism of bourgeois sciences. Opposite Klaus Holzkamp , Bruder emphasizes the independent status of “criticism”, which has its significance in the context of movements aimed at changing social conditions. This position can be found in the postmodern discourses within which Klaus-Jürgen Bruder developed his position on a psychology of the “discourse of power” with reference to Lyotard , Deleuze , Guattari , Lacan , Foucault and Derrida .

In the left-wing newspaper Junge Welt , he regularly comments on technical and political issues.
