Read Freud and William James. They are two huge figures in psych. I recommend reading The Freud Reader (also, check out the recommended readings in the back if the book) and The Principles of Psychology I&II (by William James). After that, work your way towards Skinner and anything that begins to interest you.

Remember Psychology is a complicated and budding SCIENCE, treat it as such. Don't fall for the memes either:
Freud laid the groundwork for the whole of therapeutic Psychology; his work is must-read because nearly everyone has an opinion on him and it is best to form your own opinion. Also, once you know about his work, you will see his influence everywhere.

Don't fall for the 'humanistic' and 'positive' branches; they are huge memes that are just moralizing human behavior under the guise of Psychology.

Be weary of any kind of pathology approach that doesn't provide an adequate physical description of its pathologies.

Psychology is a science. Don't get caught up in the free will debate. Science is monistic and has no room for special snowflake idea of 'free will'. Observe the human objectively.

made me stop masturbating and accept and enjoy my desire

- Introduction of sociology
Had to read it at school, some of it seemed outdated
- Daniel Kahneman
- Dan Ariely
Both discuss 'irrationality' (which might not be that irrational) or cognitive bias
- Jonathan Haidt
Basically it uses the big five personality test with political leanings that and morality
- Steven Pinker
Only read "stuff of thought" so far, want to read more of his cognitive science books

I've also read a book about system justification but it wasn't that great

Please avoid Jung, Freud, Erikson, Maslow and Myers-Briggs. They have been largely discredited by psychology and sociology.

Does Lacan actually address masturbation qua masturbation?

You can get rid of history and philosophy books then too, numbnuts.

Durkheim opened my mind to the universality and cohesion of social structures and Marx made me aware of their economic and historical situaredness.

all praise kek

because it isn't that you're autistic and only because of that are putting literally HISTORY, then P H I L O S O P H Y, and then on the third hand "psychology", all three in the same basket

Psychology is the bridge between history/philosophy and hard science.

There is literally nothing wrong with that.

"The origin of consciousness in the breakdown of the bicameral mind" by Julian Jayness,

"Language and responsibility" by Noam Chomsky

"A way of being" by Carl Rogers

"Rational emotive behavior therapy" by Albert Ellis.

And I dabbled in a lot of Jung for a while. All of it was interesting, very little of it was applicable to real life.
