There are several modern books about psychoanalytic psychotherapy that are highly regarded by professionals and readers alike. Here are some recommendations, excluding Irvin Yalom and Stephen Grosz, as you mentioned you've already read their works:

  1. "The Examined Life: How We Lose and Find Ourselves" by Stephen Grosz (Even though you've read other works by him, this book is worth mentioning for others who may be interested.)

  2. "Love's Executioner and Other Tales of Psychotherapy" by Irvin D. Yalom (Again, another mention for those who might not have read this specific book.)

  3. "The Gift of Therapy: An Open Letter to a New Generation of Therapists and Their Patients" by Irvin D. Yalom

  4. "The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma" by Bessel van der Kolk

  5. "Attachment in Psychotherapy" by David J. Wallin

  6. "In Therapy We Trust: America's Obsession with Self-Fulfillment" by Eva S. Moskowitz

  7. "The Drama of the Gifted Child: The Search for the True Self" by Alice Miller

  8. "Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation" by Daniel J. Siegel

  9. "Modern Psychoanalysis of the Schizophrenic Patient: Theory of the Technique" by Hyman Spotnitz

  10. "The Talking Cure: The Science Behind Psychotherapy" by Susan C. Vaughan

These books cover a range of topics related to psychoanalytic psychotherapy, including case studies, theoretical approaches, trauma, attachment, and the therapeutic process. As with any reading, it's always good to check reviews and synopses to see which ones resonate with your interests and needs as a reader.
