This study examined the influence of mother's mentalization facilitation on mother - child relationships characterized by insecure attachment and changes after treatment. For this purpose, 49 sessions of play therapy were conducted once a week for infants(children) with disorganized attachment types, and then 39 sessions of personal counseling for mothers were conducted once a week. The change in regards to attachment on the mother-child relationship was analyzed after the change in the mother's mentalization and children 's play. The main results of this study are as follows. First, the mother's mentalization facilitation was helpful in eliciting reliable responses to children by making it possible to predict the behaviors of mothers and others (children and husbands) in unstable situations through the meaningful behavior of people through attribution of insightful thoughts and emotions. Second, the mother's mentalization facilitation promoted stable attachment in relation to the child and provided a basis for sensitive reactions to the child. Third, the mother's mentalization facilitation promoted the communication of the child 's tacit and non-verbal desires and emotions in language by recognizing the child' s psychological state. Fourth, through the mother's mentalization facilitation, the mother’s ability to react with sensitivity to the child was increased and a stable mother-child relationship was formed. As a result of the promotion of the mother's mentalization facilitation and the child's play therapy, sleeping problems, which are a major problem for children, were resolved and unstable attachment behaviors such as crying, explosions of anger, and clinging, etc. were mitigated. In addition children reported stable exploration of the environment, expansion of cognitive, emotional, and social abilities, and changes that formed meaningful relationships. Based on these results, limitations and future proposals were discussed.
