Be prepared for a lot of neuroscience terminology, yet you will see the practical side of it and gain a greater appreciation for what neuroscience has to offer.

I just got this from amazon recently, so I am only part way into it. It is from 2002, so it is not the most up-to-date information, but it is a fascinating topic. Covers basic neuroscience for the non-scientist, the neuroscience of psychotherapy, and the neuroscience of a number of mental disorders.
