Don Richard Riso (1946 – August 30, 2012〔(Enneagram Institute announcement )〕) was an American teacher of the Enneagram of Personality. His books are considered as core literature of modern Enneagram teaching and have been translated into several languages. ==Education and career== Riso grew up in New Orleans and Los Angeles. He studied English and philosophy and received a M.A. from Stanford University. Around 1962, he joined the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) of the New Orleans Province, but later left the order without being ordained. In the early 1970s, some members of the Jesuit order came in contact with the Enneagram material and it began to be taught in Jesuit and other Roman Catholic institutions in North American. In 1974, as a Jesuit seminarian in Toronto, Canada, Riso first learned of the Jesuit teaching on the Enneagram which, he has said, "consisted of nine one-page impressionistic sketches of the personality types"〔Don Richard Riso, Russ Hudson; ''Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery.'' Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 1996, p. 21〕 and fascinated him. In the following year, 1975, he left the order and began developing the brief type sketches to more detailed descriptions. Riso developed a number of original ideas regarding understanding the Enneagram, such as nine "levels of development" from "redeemed" or "healthy" to "totally unhealthy" and the "harmonic groups". In 1987, Riso published his 12 years of Enneagram thinking in his first book, ''Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery''. Three years later he published ''Understanding the Enneagram''. In 1991, Russ Hudson joined Riso, originally to create a questionnaire for indicating people's Enneagram types. The result was the Riso–Hudson Enneagram Type Indicator (RHETI). Several versions have since been developed, the present complete version consisting of 144 pairs of forced-choice statements. In 1995, Riso and Hudson founded the Enneagram Institute in New York City. The institute has since moved to Stone Ridge, New York where it offers workshops and trainings as well as publishing materials pertaining to the Enneagram. It is represented by the Enneagram Institution Network in more than 15 countries. Hudson participated in revising the book ''Personality Types'' for the second edition, which came out in 1996. Riso died on August 30, 2012 from metastasized cancer.〔http://www.enneagraminstitute.com/whatsnew.asp retrieved 2012-10-11.〕 Riso considered himself to be Enneagram type Four with a Three wing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Famous People by Enneagram Type According to Don Richard Riso )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Richard Riso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
