Review: Tigger on the Couch - Laura James



I needed a picture to symbolise those books that don't really fit into a category and I found on Google Images this adorable Bear and Bookworm reading , Isn't it cute ?
Today's book is for all those budding pyschologists out there....


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.
