While there is little in the way of direct reference to psychology, the author does a great job of describing the life events, inner thoughts and emotion struggles that lead one to consider a career in the field. This is probably the most candid biography I have ever read. Dr. Wheelis makes no attempt to paint himself in an overly positive light. The Atlantic Monthly Press - Fictionalized case studies by various authors. Mostly very interesting, although some a bit uneven and odd.
Freudian psychotherapies are over-represented in the stories.
Ardent Media Incorporated - The editors tasked some of the more famous psychotherapists of our time with writing a brief autobiography combined with an overview of their clinical approach. Frankly, I prefer the autobiographical aspects of the book. For example, Arnold Lazarus talks candidly about his break with Joseph Wolpe, Ronald Levant discusses how his upbringing led him to work with alexithymic men, and Lillian Comas-Diaz reveals this impact her latina roots had on her career. This is worthwhile reading for clinicians and graduate students. Basic Books - An autobiographical account of a woman who has spent the better part of her life in therapy of some form or another.
