Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy by Irvin D Yalom
This is essentially a collection of ten case studies that show the process of psychotherapy - some are successful, others of limited benefit and a few fail in their objectives. However they are fascinating in as much as they focus on the failings of the therapist as much as the client (How do you help an individual if you find their condition repulsive?). Irvin Yalom is refreshing in his honesty and perceptive in his insights.
