Let´s see who we have here next. Oh yes, Snow White; a young women in her early twenties suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, convinced that her stepmother is trying to kill her. She believes that her stepmother has hired a hitman - or huntsman as she herself calls him - to kill her. Few weeks ago she had a bite of apple stuck in her throat and she nearly choked. Ever since that incident she has believed her stepmother is trying to poison her and she now has a phobia for red apples.
She has a very vivid imagination, she has even invented imaginary friends for herself - 7 dwarfs. She also spends hours each day standing in a window hiding behind the curtains waiting and believing that a handsome Prince is out there looking for her, yes a very common delusion for those storybook characters who have been growing up in a shadow of a evil stepmother.
To really understand Snow White, we must look into her past. You see her mother died when she was very young and soon her father remarried. Snow was very jelous for her new stepmother for her father´s attention. I believe her hatred for her stepmother comes from that feeling of being shadowed by the stepmother when it comes to his faher´s affection. Snow of course could not accept those kind of negative emotions in herself so she denied them and projected them to her stepmother.
Next we have 37-year-old male who believes to be a flying elephant named Dumbo....

Inspired by the Mad Hatters http://365project.org/madhatters/profile this weeks theme of bringing storybook characters in to a therapy. It got me thinking that many of the storybook characters would be diagnozed mentally ill if they would tell their story here in the real world.
@ericdibosco Thank you Eric, I have always had a vivid imagination, too vivid for my own good :D it´s funny that you mentioned it, as one of my friend told me today that this is the me she likes best and that she´s so happy I haven´t lost my imagination. I feel like I have, a lot compared to what it used to be,
