That's a very thoughtful answer!
Do add to your reading other valuable sources:
Perls, Hefferline, Goodman - GESTALT THERAPY (book is by all three authors)
Berne - GROUP THERAPY
Bandura - PRINCIPLE OF BEHAVIOR MODIFICATION
Kopp - GURU & IF YOU MEET BUHDDA ON THE ROAD, KILL HIM
Langes - PSYCHOANALYTIC PSYCHOTHERAPY vol. 1 & 2

And many others by, instance, Finechel, Progoff, Lowen, Minuchin, Lazarus, Beck, Haley, Watzalwick, etc. And there are many many more.

Each of this professionals are uniquely different in there thinking and approach, yet each has done a bang-up job opening our eyes. I am stressing that the best way to learn topic X is to also read topic –X. If you get my meaning.
