I've been collecting them for years now, and some are frankly just not as helpful as others. But I can't figure out how to get rid of them. My therapist now knows that I research this stuff, and teases me about it. But I still am wary of giving them to one of the various charities that holds used book sales (anonymous donation of course). I seem to have this OCD'ish fear that somehow I will have left something with my name in them or something. I suppose I could give them to my husband to check before I give them away.
But really, psych books are so *personal*. It feels like I'm exposing myself by revealing them.
Ok, I'm being silly. The charities don't peruse my choice in book titles I'm sure. That's it. I'm going to sort my shelf into those books I know I want to keep and the rest and start piling them up for the book sales.
