See what people are saying about (K)nots:
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., Clinical Psychologist
