The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mentalizing Tales of Dating and
Marriage is about the dynamics of intimate interpersonal
relationships (dating and marriage) - how and why human pairings
occur, what helps them function optimally and how therapists can
intervene when they don't. J. Mark Thompson and Richard Tuch employ
a multidimensional perspective that provides a variety of "lenses"
through which intimate relationships can be viewed. The authors
also offer a new model of couples therapy based on the
mentalization model of treatment developed by Peter Fonagy and his
colleagues. This book is aimed at those interested in the nature of
intimate relationships as well as those wishing to expand their
clinical skills, whether they are conducting one-on-one therapy
with individuals struggling to establish and maintain intimate
relations or are conducting conjoint treatment with troubled
couples who have sought the therapist's assistance. Thompson and
Tuch view relationships from a wide array of different
perspectives: mentalization, attachment theory, evolutionary
psychology, psychoanalysis, pattern recognition (neuroscience), and
role theory. A mentalization based approach to couples therapy is
clearly explained in a "how to" fashion, with concrete suggestions
about how the therapist goes about clinically intervening given
their expanded understanding of the dynamics of intimate relations
outlined in the book. The Stories We Tell Ourselves: Mentalizing
Tales of Dating and Marriage will appeal to psychoanalysts,
psychotherapists, psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social
workers, marriage therapists, and all those interested in both
learning more about the dynamics of one-on-one intimate
relationships (dating and marriage) from a truly multidimensional
perspective and in learning how to conduct mentalization-based
couples therapy.
