I like TA. I had a therapist who used it, gained a lot from it personally.

I enjoyed I'm o'k You're ok and The Games People Play by Eric Byrne. Well worth a read. They are neo-Freudian but I think Freud did great work on the unconscious mind even they I lean towards Jung because I think he had a more open mind.

I read all of Berne's books. I especially liked "What do you say after you say Hello".
It helped me see the futility of trying to change people. You have to know the theoretical stuff to make change. At the same time if you know the theoretical basis of TA it no longer is magic. The magic of cure only works if the therapist is viewed as someone who knows the "magic words".
Quick therapy works for a short time. Long term therapy helps the client live through and past their problems.
