This paper will show how discussing video clips with a mother as part of the 'Watch, Wait and Wonder' technique (N. J. Cohen, E. Muir, M. Lojkasek, R. Muir, C. J. Parker, M. Barwick, M. Brown (1999) WWW: Testing the effectiveness of a new approach to mother infant psychotherapy. Infant Mental Health Journal, 20, 429-451) proved central to bringing about change in the mother's representations of herself and her infant, and led to a significant reduction in her infant's aggressive behaviour, and incipient insecure ambivalent attachment to its mother. Reference will be made particularly to the improved reflective capacity (P. Fonagy, H. Steele, G. Moran, M. Steele and A. Higgitt, (1991) The capacity for understanding mental states: the reflective self in parent and child and its significance for security of attachment. Infant Mental Health Journal, 13, 200-217.) in the mother which resulted from the application of the Watch Wait and Wonder technique.
