I am a Psychiatrist.I have always felt that the best place to read about Psychiatry is in the great literary works of the world.(forget Freud,focus on Melville).Regrettably I cannot claim to have read enough in this area ,but I am slowly trying to rectify this deficiency (albeit slowly) Thanks for your help in providing a "reading list " as this helps to refine my approach as to what I might be reading

All books are great books, it's only a matter of which wasy you look upon them. If there would be no books, there would be no future. Without books, Joyce or Grisham, Thomas Mann or Edgar Wallace, our world would be much less worth to live on and in.
