How the Mind Works

Author	Steven Pinker
ISBN	0393318486

In this extraordinary bestseller, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading cognitive scientists, does for the rest of the mind what he did for language in his 1994 book, The Language Instinct. He explains what the mind is, how it evolved, and how it allows us to see, think, feel, laugh, interact, enjoy...

Man and His Symbols

Author	C.G. Jung
ISBN	0440351839

My university professors never introduced me to Carl Jung. I understand why, I guess, but it's a shame that I didn't read Jung's work until now. Jungian psychology is amazing. It addresses the unconscious and the "self"/"psyche" in a unique and enlightening way. And, unlike most other psychologists,...

The Undiscovered Self

Author	C.G. Jung
ISBN	0451217322

In his classic, provocative work, Dr. Carl Jung-one of psychiatry's greatest minds-argues that the future depends on our ability to resist society's mass movements. Only by understanding our unconscious inner nature-"the undiscovered self"-can we gain the self-knowledge that is antithetical...

Ego and Archetype: Individuation and the Religious Function of the Psyche

Author

Edward F. Edinger

This book is about the individual's journey to psychological wholeness, known in analytical psychology as the process of individuation. Edward Edinger traces the stages in this process and relates them to the search for meaning through encounters with symbolism in religion, myth, dreams, and art....

Freud: A Life for Our Time

Author	Peter Gay
ISBN	0393328619

Brilliant biography of Freud (probably the best since Ernest Jones’s three v. effort). Heavy emphasis on ideas, especially within the nineteenth century context (both bourgeois Vienna & 19th c. scientific -- e.g., Darwin & physiological school). Treats the psychoanalytic movement,...

Author	Michel Foucault

The Hermeneutics of the Subject is the third volume in the collection of Michel Foucault's lectures at the Collège de France, where faculty give public lectures on any topic of their choosing.

Freud and Beyond: A History of Modern Psychoanalytic Thought

Author	Stephen A. Mitchell
ISBN	0465014054

Freud's concepts have become a part of our psychological vocabulary: unconscious thoughts and feelings, conflict, the meaning of dreams, the sensuality of childhood. But psychoanalytic thinking has undergone an enormous expansion and transformation over the past fifty years. With Freud and...

Our Inner Conflicts: A Constructive Theory of Neurosis

Author	Karen Horney
ISBN	0393309401

This book explains everything about human character and is really beautifully written. It's as breezy as Linda Goodman's Sun Signs but much more complex. Horney theory is actually so complex that most people don't talk about her anymore, even though she was one of the most important psychoanalytic...
