EMDR: The Breakthrough Therapy for Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma — Francine Shapiro

No Bad Parts: Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness with the Internal Family Systems Model — Richard C. Schwartz

This is the latest book by the creator of IFS, Richard Schwartz. I find this book to be very powerful and very easy to read.

The Larger Self — Article by Richard C. Schwartz

This article written by the creator of IFS is a shorter read than his book but very touching — it tells the story of the author's first encounter with parts in a client.

Building a Life Worth Living — Marsha M. Linehan

The autobiography of Marsha Linehan, the creator of DBT. Remarkable not just for its prose, but because it allows you to understand how Linehan created one of the most influential approaches to therapy, the obstacles she faced, and the coping skills she used to overcome them.

Full Catastrophe Living — Jon Kabat-Zinn

A powerful guide to mindfulness, full of drops of wisdom. I believe Jon Kabat-Zinn to be the missing link between Eastern Zen philosophies and Western medicine.
