This case study was explored a facilitation of emotional communicability between a child with autism and profound mental retardation and her mother by the Video Home Training (VHT) method. It has been reported that behavior of children with autism is difficult for parents to understand their reasons and intentions. The mother of the child participated in this study also faced on the same problem including self injurious behavior. In this study I focused a therapeutic goal on rather diverting her attention to positive emotional expression of the child than the problems themselves. Then VHT was applied for the goal. The mother was assigned to view each of 7 video clips, which featured positive emotional expressions of the child in their interactions, for 8 months at her home, with therapist and by herself. Results showed that repeated viewing the same clips promoted the mother's sensitive perceptions and sympathetic statements on her child's emotional expressions. This effect was discussed from the viewpoint that it would be useful to promote an intersubjective relationship between mothers and their children with autism.
