Psychiatric Hospital, Barlinnie Prison Special Unit, Langlands Special School,
The Epilepsy Association, Richmond Park Special School, The Maryhill One-in-Four
Centre, Yorkhill Children's Hospital, Dramatherapy North-West LEGATO and The CarstairsState Hospital.

1990-96 the Centre had a full-time Therapeutic Puppetry Consultant, Mickey Aronoff,
from the USA. The Centre has amassed a range of published and unpublished materials
in this regard, and also led therapeutic workshop projects in Greece, Russia,
Mexico, Venezuela, Finland, France and Germany.
In 1995 Malcolm
Knight designed and wrote two 40 hour courses in Puppetry and Special Needs
for Anniesland College, which were validated by the Scottish Qualifications
Authority. These courses are empowerment and discovery-based modules which range
across areas of self-healing, definitions of therapy, health education, prison
'free expression groups', and diagnostic approaches to children with emotional
disturbance, grief counselling and bereavement, and uses of masks and puppets
in hospitals. They are in the public domain and may be adapted to your needs.
At present Glenrothes College in Fife has implemented an Art Therapy Course,and
we have assisted with this development. |
