Ok -- two of my favorite "serious" books are: "Undercurrents" and "Shining Affliction." Both of these are written by therapists who suffered through depression and/or abuse. But they are very sad in places and may trigger, so be careful. I think I've read Shining 10 times.
I also like "The Fifty Minute Hour" which has short case studies, but he doesn't write as well as Yalom. Oliver Sacks wrote a pretty famous collection called, "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat."
Other books I've liked are: "Unholy Ghost" which is a collection of writings; "A general theory of love" which explains alot about attachment; "Between therapist and Client" and "The Intimate Hour" and "The Impossibility of Sex."
I'll stop here. But that should keep you busy for a week.
