Some favourites of mine:
"Delivering Doctor Amelia" - About the therapy of an obstetrician after she has made a major clinical mistake.
"Healing the Soul in the Age of the Brain" - A psychiatrist/psychoanalyst's case for paying attention to emotional life rather than only relying on medication to treat symptoms.
"The Uses of Enchantment" - A book on the value of fairy tales for children.
"The Gift of Pain" - The collaboration of a surgeon and popular theologian to argue that, to a certain extent, pain can be a valuable thing.
"People of the Lie" - A psychiatrist's perspective on evil.You know, maybe this is why I don't get much of my schoolwork done? That's not even counting the things I've stumbled across in French which I can't find a translation for!
