On returning to England her work in clinical psychology centred on projective testing.
[1] She became interested in the possibilities of psychoanalysis and undertook an analysis with the Kleinian Hanna Segal.
She did not abandon entirely her interest in the British Independent group, in particular the work of Melanie Klein and Donald Winnicott.
[1] Aside from her many articles, she wrote two significant volumes, Dying and Creating, a Search for Meaning (1978) in which she explored the symbolic process and the variations she found in the conceptualisations of C. G. Jung and Sigmund Freud.
[1] Her last book was Bridges, Metaphor for Psychic Processes (1993), which gathered together the writings of a professional lifetime.
