Books for Therapists
Below are the best books for therapists that I have found, the resources that I most frequently recommend to new therapists, practicum students, and clients. There are an overwhelming number of books any therapist could read, so I kept my suggestions here (mostly) to 3 books per category. I put bonus book suggestions at the bottom of the page with less detail. As a new therapist or seasoned counsellor, I hope something here is of use to you. Scroll down or jump to a section:

For Clients
Foundational Books
This is the book to get if you’re in the first few months or years of counselling. Packed with reassuring wisdom. Concise, reference-able, and practical while also covering the internal/personal dimension effectively. A beautiful and mature guide for when we feel new and confused. I would’ve killed for this book during my training!
The master of process. I used to ask my graduate students to read this before arriving for their first day. Cozolino’s Making of a Therapist has since taken that place, but I love this book. Yalom is warm, insightful, and gives an amazingly concise look into dozens of human moments in therapy, all of which we can learn from.
