From 1965 he worked in the neurology / psychiatry department at the University of Leipzig as an assistant, specialist and senior physician. He completed his habilitation in 1975 with the work on cooperative relationships between psychiatric patients and their environment .

In 1979, Bach became a lecturer in psychiatry in Leipzig. From 1984 he worked for six months as an assistance professor at the Medical Center Gondar of the University of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia . In 1987 he was appointed full professor for neurology and psychiatry and director of the clinic and polyclinic for psychiatry and neurology at the Medical Academy in Dresden . Bach was chairman and board member in various professional societies and from 1991 to 1993 rector of the Medical Academy "Carl Gustav Carus" Dresden .
