ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic doll for self-help that can be used outside of a therapeutic or self-help session. The doll includes a heart area which can be illuminated and a speech-producing device which outputs encouraging messages. The doll also includes a variety of icons, such as a liquor bottle or pill bottle, which symbolize personal vices. The doll includes a shelf inside its cavity for placement of these icons. The shelf is collapsable by the push of a button mechanism allowing the icons to fall through a hollow portion in the doll and into a knapsack coupled to the doll. Use of the doll encourages the user to confront his or her problems and abstain from using liquor, drugs, etc.
