Roo’s closest friend is Tigger, who is not a good Role Model.
We think that this will be Roo’s reality, in part because of a second issue. We predict we will someday see a delinquent, jaded, adolescent Roo hanging out late at night at the top of the forest, the ground littered with broken bottles of extract of malt and the butts of smoked thistles. Take this selection from Roo’s diagnosis, which ended with a prediction about the young kangaroo’s dismal future: Milne and offer our conclusions about the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood in hopes that our observations will help the medical community understand that there is a Dark Underside to this world.Īlthough the observations made by Shea and her team may fall in line with modern medical standards, the paper’s humorous tone makes it clear that these determinations weren’t offered with a straight face. We have done an exhaustive review of the works of A.A. However, perspectives change with time, and it is clear to our group of modern neurodevelopmentalists that these are in fact stories of Seriously Troubled Individuals, many of whom meet DSM-IV3 criteria for significant disorders (Table 1). Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories have enjoyed these seemingly benign tales.
On the surface it is an innocent world: Christopher Robin, living in a beautiful forest surrounded by his loyal animal friends. The BBC reported at the time that lead researcher and primary author Sarah Shea’s intention was to “remind people that anyone can have disorders.” The introduction to the study also noted that the characters were diagnosed with different mental disorders by a “group of modern neurodevelopmentalists,” not Milne: This theory was first popularized in a tongue-in-cheek paper published in 2000 (more than 70 years after the appearance of the first Winnie-the-Pooh book) in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Like similar theories positing that the seven characters on the sitcom Gilligan’s Island personified the seven deadly sins, or that the five main characters in the animated children’s show Scooby-Doo were each based on one of five eastern colleges, the notion that characters such as Eeyore, Rabbit, Piglet, Roo, and even Pooh himself represent various mental disorders is a fanciful latter-day interpretation and not an expression of the authorial intent of Pooh creator A.A. Milne’s most famous works were created to represent various mental disorders:
In August 2018, coincident with the release of the Disney film Christopher Robin, a new generation of Winnie the Pooh fans were exposed to a popular theory holding that the animal characters who populate the Hundred Acre Wood in A.A.
