Some of the resources listed here are materials that we have found helpful in our work or that our patients have found useful. Some books were recommended by trusted colleagues. In addition, we asked the readers of our Shrink Rap blog to tell us what books they have found helpful, and we included many of their recommendations here.

Other resources listed here were sources for information included in this book. In a more scholarly book, these works would be cited in footnotes, but we have chosen to weave our recommended readings and our sources together in one place.
