Friday, April 30, 2010

I was going throuh my Abnormal Child Psych text book studying and doing my assignments when I chanced upon this DSM-IV diagnosis of the Hundred Acre Wood characters. Never before have I perceived any cartoon characters in this way. So here it is: The Pathology in Hundred Acre Wood
