Buy new: £5.69 / Used from: £2.91
Well, why not start with mine... a novel that explores the hidden cost of being a therapist and the discomforting parallels between therapy & prostitution. A page-turner, I'm told. Who am I to argue?
Ordinary PeopleOrdinary People by Judith Guest
Buy used from: £0.07
A good book about therapy and a family's struggle with stuck grief. Cracking good movie too!

Ok, not a novel, but a fine collection of fictional case study short stories. Skip the intro if you don 't want the theory
TherapyTherapy by David Lodge
Buy new: £5.72 / Used from: £0.01
A wise man once told me, 'When in doubt, walk about'! - Sometimes you can sit too long in the therapy chair. This is mid-life angst explored with good humour, and a keen edge.

A great title, and it's on my holiday reading list for later this summer
All in the MindAll in the Mind by Alastair Campbell
Buy new: £11.65 / Used from: £3.99
Therapy is reduced to little more than encouraging clients to think positive and write homework tasks but some of the characters are well sketched and the intention is good.
