Description

To treat patients using psychoanalysis, psychiatrists must first undergo their own analysis. And Dr. Jacob Fink plans to coast through his own stint on the shrink's couch as quickly as possible. After all, there's nothing wrong with him! But soon, his forty‑five minute sessions unearth long‑buried struggles that are both profound and profane.

Can a three‑year‑old who was unable to sit still on his carpet square in nursery school and constantly joked his way through his schooling ever be successful in life?

Can listening to a weather forecast be dangerous to your health?

Can a boy get a venereal disease just by thinking about girls?

How can you get fresh semen stains out of white linen pants and beat a traffic ticket?

Jacob is on his way to a breakthrough when something unthinkable happens and he now has to dig deep to unwrap the last of his inner struggles and finally grow into the therapist he knows he can be.

To treat patients using psychoanalysis, psychiatrists must first undergo their own analysis. And Dr. Jacob Fink plans to coast through his own stint on the shrink's couch as quickly as possible...

A very funny insight into the world of a psychologist. The stories were funny and easy to relate to. Some of the stories were sad about how we deal with death and dying. I was disappointed when the book ended- I wanted to laugh some more!

I enjoyed this short book about stories from the life of psychiatrist Dr. Jacob Fink. Some of them were funny, some not so much. It seems that he struggled with his own problems since being a toddler maybe that’s why he unconsciously started psychoanalytic therapies with Dr. Hermann.

Thank you to NetGalley and publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
