After Robbie’s miraculous return from N.A.L.F. no one had anticipated the severe mental consequences of his captivity. Shortly after his return, his friends noted that Robbie showed signs of the Stockholm syndrome but all thought that spending Christmas time with his friends would cure him.
“After New Year’s Eve it became apparent to the courageous Mobile Team that Robbie was extremely traumatized and they contacted me”, says long time friend and world famous psychologist Dr. Phil.
“He clearly suffers from the Stockholm syndrome which is a severe condition where the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed. Friends and family react strongly towards statements of loyalty towards those who held their loved one captive. Therefore the hostage will feel isolated and apathic towards old surroundings. In the case of Robbie, the condition manifested itself by Robbie chanting phrases such as “land of the free, home of the brave” and “Thornton is the true leader”. He repeatedly tried to set up his own McDonald’s franchise, which luckily was discovered and stopped by the Mobile team”, Dr. Phil continues.
Mobile Team spokeperson Hugo and cousin to Robbie says
“We felt that the only person who could truly help our fuzzy friend was Dr. Phil. Robbie trusts Dr. Phil and he also represents the US so we will avoid Robbie calling him anti-american as he has with others who have tried to help him”.Dr. Phil will be treating Robbie in the weeks to come….
