Minutes of Clinical Origami

Although I am publishing notes of a meeting that has already occured, Maiko reports that they might have another event in January or February. Others are welcome to join her for the next meeting. You can email her: maikopenguin@yahoo.com




Meeting:
Toshiko handed out a copy of "MY House Origami Assessment" and "Enrichment
Origami Art Therapy Process/Product Assessment Form." Focus of the meeting
was
1. "MY House Origami Assessment"
2. "Enrichment Origami Art Therapy Process/Product Assessment Form"
Discussion about rearrangement of evaluation items according to the basic
four components of human wellbeing. There were more additions and
subtractions and total rearrangement has been discussed but we did not have
enough time to go over every item.
Attendants agreed to send toshiko the revision of 1. and 2. By the morning
of 29th, in order for her to send out revised edition before the next
meeting.

Toshiko informed there are growing needs of Origami assessment in trauma
related fields and asking for an origami assessment tool and procedure.
Suggested the need of finalizing first edition as soon as possible.

Next meeting will be January 19th, Friday, same place, same time.
Main agenda for the next meeting:
1. Finalizing "MY House..." and "EOAT Process/Product Assessment Form"
2. Bring in "My House" artwork of client to check the assessment tool.
3. Name of this group
4. Looking for therapists/agencies that might interested in trying out the
tools.



Also if you know anyone who is interested in clinical use of origami, feel
free to invite them let toshiko knows in advance.

Thank you so much
