Guest guest Posted December 13, 2000 Report Share Posted December 13, 2000 I'm crushed! I just read this in my local newspaper today, and all I can say, is " Say it Ain't So! Don't Mess with Winnie! " Jay in Colorado A pediatric research team says A.A. Milne's characters in the " Winnie the Pooh " stories are psychological messes. Writing in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, team leader Shea says Pooh himself is obsessive-compulsive and suffers from attention deficit disorder; Eeyore is depressed; Piglet is in need of anti-panic drugs; and Robin is haunted by unresolved gender issues. " Sadly, " the team notes, " the forest is not, in fact a place of enchantment but rather one of disenchantment where neurodevelopmetal and psychosocial problems go unrecognized and untreated.
