Tigger on the Couch: The Neuroses, Psychoses, Disorders and Maladies of Our Favourite Children's Characters

Review: Tigger on the Couch - Laura James - Oct 2008

Are you hoping to become a pyschologist or have an interest in the subject ? Are you a fan of the Walt Disney Characters and all those fun childhood characters we have grown up with from The Hundred Acre wood by A.A Milne to Peter Pan by JM Barrie and Alice in Wonderland by CS Lewis . Tigger on the couch gathers all your favourite childhood characters and analyses them and labels them with a mental illness , disorder of sorts from Tigger who can't stop boucing therefore he must suffer from ADHD to Pollyanna who is always so positive - what else can it be but a case of Denial and then we have Cinderella - always trying to gain approval from others which indicates an addiction to approval. This fun book which is not to be taken seriously diagnoses all our favourite characters , talks about their patient history e.g physical appearance, family history etc , patient notes , background history on the disorder , a prognosis and of course what better than a way to treat the disorder.
A Fun take at the look of mental illnesses, disorders, neuroses  and maladies.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
