Try 'psychology and alchemy' and then 'mysterium coniunctionis'. You won't be able to understand MC before you read P&A though. The level of symbolic analysis to provide possibilities for stable dream interpretation is very solid. As much as his arguments are interesting and workable, he's also an important guide for the level of stability required to delve into psychology. But not many have furthered his work besides autodidacts with no formal training in psychology. Jung is compelling because he was actually a practicing psychologist who dealt with psychotic etc. patients.

Sapolsky's Why Zebra's Don't Get Ulcers is widely beloved for being written in an entertaining manner. It treats the subject of modern stress and its research. It's essentially an academic textbook, and I read it while studying psychology. So it's a book about a subject of psychology, rather than the entire scientific field itself. But I've found that the best books about Academic subject matter are always focused. Of course, there are also numerous "history of psychology" tomes if you're interested in the likes of Jung, Freud, et al.

Zebra's don't ulcers because they don't experience long term stress, in case you're curious about the title.
