The question of interfacing research and clinically generated knowledge in the field of infant mental health (IMH) with local cultural knowledge and belief systems has provoked extended discussion in recent years. This article explores convergences and divergences between current research‐based, relational IMH mental health models and “community” knowledge held by a group of South African lay home visitors from a socioeconomically deprived township. These women were trained in a psychoanalytic and attachment‐informed infant mental health program that promotes a relational model of infant development. They provide an intervention that supports high risk mother–infant relationships in the same locality. A two‐tiered approach was taken to the analysis of the home visitor interviews and focused on the home visitors’ constructed narratives of infant development posttraining as well as the personal impact of the training and work on the home visitors themselves. The study found that psychoanalytic and attachment‐informed thinking about development makes sense to those operating within the local South African cultural context, but that the accommodation of this knowledge is a complex and challenging process
