I have long been a fan of existential psychotherapist Irvin Yalom. His academic works (such as "Existential Psychotherapy" and "The Gift of Therapy") are inspiring.
His compilations of case studies (such as "Love's Executioner" and "Momma and the Meaning of Life") provide a frank and honest illustration of the humane and insightful work he has done with clients over many years (as well as being the closest we can get to actually being in the room with a master therapist). These volumes are a 'must read' not only for therapists but also for anyone contemplating counselling and who might be wondering what it's all about.
