Psychologists have long been aware that attachment security may be transmitted from one generation to the next. But how does this happen? A new idea here is the importance of mind-mindedness, a carer's ability to tune into what their child may be thinking or feeling. This film looks at Professor Elizabeth Meins' influential experimental research showing that mind-mindedness is a clear predictor of attachment security.
