Robert Fancher
"Cultures of Healing"
Robert Fancher is trained in philosophy and capable of cutting through much of the BS that comes along with psychology and its pompous methodologies. As well he emphasizes the importance of virtue during the process of change, and recognizes the therapeutic relationship as one of many cultures of healing.

The Almost Blank Slate
http://www.calstatela.edu/academic/psych
IN 2002, THE PSYCHOLOGIST STEVEN PINKER appeared on the New York Times bestseller list with The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature,1 a book that attempts to catapult the nature-nurture issue back into public debate,while squarely coming down on the side of human nature. I shall argue, however, that there is overwhelming evidence that learning exerts the most significant influence on human behavior—a fact that is rarely acknowledged, publicized or even understood. If anything, there is a modern denial of human nurture, not human nature.
Does Emotion Cause Behavior? - The feedback theory of emotion.
http://carlsonschool.umn.edu/assets/1288
Fear causes fleeing and thereby saves lives: this exemplifies a popular and commonsense but increasingly untenable view that the direct causation of behavior is the primary function of emotion. Instead, we develop a theory of emotion as a feedback system whose influence on behavior is typically indirect. By providing feedback and stimulating retrospective appraisal of actions, conscious emotional states can promote learning and alter guidelines for future behavior. Behavior may also be chosen to pursue (or avoid) anticipated emotional outcomes. Rapid, automatic affective responses, in contrast to the full-blown conscious emotions, may inform cognition and behavioral choice and thereby help guide current behavior. The automatic affective
responses may also remind the person of past emotional outcomes and provide useful guides as to what emotional outcomes may be anticipated in the present. To justify replacing the direct causation model with the feedback model, we review a large body of empirical findings.
