REVIEWS
This gem of a book is the perfect introduction for folks who are curious about what therapy is and how it works. With simple illustrations and generous humor, it will help anyone understand why we get into mental health knots, and how talking to someone can untangle us from our past, our fears, and our patterns.

This book is delightful, a breath of fresh air. It’s a clear, simple (but not simplistic) description of the psychodynamic process, easy to grasp, engaging, thoughtful and funny. The book draws you in, opens doors, and offers a guide to reflecting about one’s life in a way that would feel new to many not exposed to this way of thinking. It offers a way to get unstuck in your life.
Dr. Finkelstein also personalizes it a bit with his own experiences, both growing up, and as a therapist.
I recommend you begin the journey to understand your (K)nots.
- Madeline Lippman, PhD.
Dr. Finkelstein’s book “Where Are Your (K)nots?, provides a clear, concise and wise description of why humans operate the way we do, and how to take an inventory of your life to ensure it is as fulfilling as possible. As a psychotherapist and founder of a mental health organization, I am excited to have something accessible and approachable to support my clients in their journey toward self-actualization, and I look forward to selling the book in my storefront.
