Those interested in learning more about depth psychotherapy can find a continually updated and refined catalogue of resources below. I include everything from popular-level texts to academic classics in the field—anything I have found helpful, or anticipate finding helpful, that I think would also benefit those who want to develop their understanding of depth therapy. As with all my reading lists, this is an idiosyncratic list of books or other resources I have found helpful in my own learning, rather than any attempt at an exhaustive or fully representative catalogue of work relevant to the topic. That said, peruse at your leisure and, with any luck, find something that may be helpful to you too!
