I love getting people's book suggestions. Caramee, I had not heard of The Man with the Beautiful Voice and will check that one out.

Some I have read or am reading now:

Their Finest Hour: Master Therapists Share Their Greatest Success Stories, by Jeffrey Kottler and Jon Carlson.
This takes the case study approach, with each therapist relating a memorable case. All the therapists use different therapeutic approaches. It is a good way to become familiar with the many different flavors of psychotherapy. Some of the therapists I felt really drawn to, and others I really disliked!

The Call of Stories: Teaching and the Moral Imagination, by Robert Coles. I love this book/memoir by a psychiatrist who is also a professor of literature at Harvard. There's a segment I love toward the beginning of his psychiatry training when he realizes just how powerful and therapeutic self disclosure in therapy can be.

Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy, by Irving Yalom. Warm and very human psychiatrist tells of memorable cases. This is not traditional psychoanalysis.

Psychodynamic Counselling in a Nutshell, by Susan Howard. Short and sweet introduction to this therapeutic approach.

Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most, by D. Stone, B. Patton, S. Heen. Helpful for breaking dysfunctional communnication patterns.

The Places that Scare You: A Guide to Fearlessness in Difficult Times, by Pema Chodron. Buddhist nun wisdom. ECHOES turned me on to her.

Personal Village: How to have people in your life by choice not chance, by Marvin Thomas. --"how to add real value to your life by forming deeper, more meaningful relationships with the people in your life that matter most."

The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values, and Spiritual Growth, by Scott Peck. Written in 1978 by psychiatrist Peck, it was a very popular book with the general theme of spiritual psychotherapy, with lots of examples drawn from his clients. I'm reading this now and am not enamored of it, but will read a bit more before giving up.
