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.

Amid the so-called "crisis of metaphysics"of the last several
hundred years, philosophers in the 20th century re-encountered -
and began a reappreciation of - the mediaeval thought of Thomas
Aquinas. This crisis can be traced, at least in part, to modern
Western philosophy's rejection of a specifying or "formal" cause in
metaphysical analysis. Drawing from Aristotle of Stagira, Aquinas
placed the formal cause on prominent display as the foundation for
his metaphysics of esse. Yet nowhere did St. Thomas offer a
systematic presentation of the key elements for this central
doctrine. In response to this absence, Mirabilis dubitatio presents
the reader with the doctrine's fundamental passages gleaned from
Aquinas's entire opera omnia, as well as a systematic analysis of
the doctrine which Aquinas himself called, a topic of "wondrous
difficulty". Kaiser's work argues this central feature of Aquinas's
thought - the formal cause - must be reintegrated into any
metaphysical analysis in the 21st century. Such a reintegration can
only begin through a presentation and understanding of Aquinas's
coherent account as presented here.
St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has
been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have
been corrected. At Saint Pius X Press our goal is to remain
faithful to the original in both photographic reproductions and in
textual reproductions that are reprinted. Photographic
reproductions are given a page by page inspection, whereas textual
reproductions are proofread to correct any errors in reproduction.
