I hope I don't regret adding this.
I am a curious person who finds freud's model pretty small (she said with a degree of arrogance) (and somewhat triggery due to circumstances of a con/therapist who abused us using the freud model of sexual stuff, using hypnosis).
But, having recently been reminded that the explosion of the unconscious 'concept' was pretty remarkable in its day 1930's, allowing some kind of explanation for unexplainable 'stuff' (or crap depending on how you grew up) is pretty notable by the guy.
As for the Berne guy, well what can I say. Not much, as I didn't get that kind of therapy.
I'm a little more understanding of Sparrowtail's explanation of the hippocampus and amigdyla (it's a spelling contest to see who can spell them the worst but so people still get it, teehee). Neur pathways and all the rest.
But hey, here is a guy I like, with all the different faces and explanations a regular folk can understand. Seems simple enough. Not that I would put down what works for any individual. It just means there are some delightful little figures to help with those wee child parts and quite fun for teen alters or even the grownups. Figuring it all out internally doesn't have to be all bad, right?

But imagine you have to go all the way to Australia, or who knows maybe your therapist uses this or something similar to give you hand. I've been a little 'vaded' myself and times. Note I did not say jaded. You'll just have to take a look at the link 
There is even a book by Gordon Emmerson called Ego States Therapy. How about that! This must be the guy, the Therapist! 
Now what do you think?
