This article will address how cyber technology may facilitate reflective functioning with patients who present with primitive self states, fragmentation, and dissociation. The utilization of text-based information and communication technology may allow for a reflective space, apart from the therapist's explicit intrusion and the potential danger of abandonment and rejection, and may help develop the capacity for reflection and symbolization. Through a case illustration and research findings, we will discuss the benefits and challenges of using cyber technology as an adjunct to face to face treatment.1
