It's not a classic but The Alienist by Caleb Carr could work for psychoanalysis. I also like Hard Times by Dickens and that would be considered a classic. I think bits would work for cognitive, humanistic and maybe behavioristic or sociocultural perspectives.

Rather than a traditional intro text, I have selected a honors text that provides an overview of 6 theoretical perspectives: Biological, Psychoanalysis, Behaviorism, Humanistic, Cognitive, Evolutionary, and Sociocultural. I am seeking some recommendations for classic novels to use as additional readings and discussion for the theoretical perspective. To prime your thinking, one novel I am considering is Huxley's Brave New World. Additional suggestions for particular theories?? Thanks in advance.
