Her 1999 book on developmental psychology places particular emphasis on early infant experiences; The Depths we are Born from (in Slovene: Globine, ki so nas rodile) is the first work written by a Slovenian author, that rejects the alienation of analytic terminology in favor of treating the subject with an increased sensibility towards the infant's needs. The book was reprinted in 2009.
