Psychology Book Recommendations
« on: April 24, 2009, 05:59:32 AM »
What psychology related books do you guys recommend?

Some of my favorites:

The Human Encounter with Death - Stanislav Grof
About psychedelic therapy with terminally ill cancer patients.  I highly recommend this book, it changed the way I view death and dying.  Also it's only $3.20 off Amazon

LSD: Doorway to the Numinous: The Groundbreaking Psychedelic Research into Realms of the Human Unconscious - Stanislav Grof
Reading this one now.  If the actual book is anything like the table of contents, then this book will be amazing.

A Theory of Personality: The Psychology of Personal Constructs - George Kelly
I find Kelly's ideas to be fascinating.  This book can help us all.

The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology and the Generation of Culture - Jerome H. Barkow
This is the foundation for evolutionary psychology.  Quite a long read though.

Now its your turn. 
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

anything written by RD Laing (aka: Lang)

quote "Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through. It is potential liberation and renewal as well as enslavement and existential death."

anything by Abraham Maslow.

Quote"“If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”"
The so-called miraculous powers of a great master are a natural accompaniment to his exact understanding of subtle laws that operate in the inner cosmos of consciousness.
