In the 1980s she devoted herself increasingly to feminist research on women, founded the Women's Research Working Group at the University of Bonn, was active in university politics, published, lectured and organized conferences on topics of interdisciplinary women's research. There were special connections to systemic family therapy and the feminist approaches represented there. During this time, together with Hans-Werner Gessmann, she was one of the co-founders of the systemic family therapy program at the Bergerhausen Psychotherapeutic Institute .

At the same time, she worked on two major research projects: on the one hand, on a study of human prenatal life, birth and the first years of life before language acquisition, which was published in 1989 under the title Birth is not the beginning. The First Chapter of Our Lives - Retold Has Been Published; on the other hand, a multi-generation story of the family of Heinrich and Thomas Mann Im Netz der Zauberer. Another story by the Mann family that appeared in 1991 and has been a bestseller at times. It has been translated into five languages.

In 1993, she took leave of absence until her early retirement (1998) to devote herself to lecturing and new projects. She began to work through her own family history. In 2001 Käthe, my mother appeared . She then led seminars on the topic of mother -daughter relationships, which resulted in a publication The mother in me.

Her private interests have been female spirituality and matriarchy research since the 1980s . Since 1996, she has also been researching the mysterious crop circles in southern England and other countries.
