Helen Lindquist Bonny (1921 – May 25, 2010) was a music therapist who developed "Guided Imagery and Music" often referred to as "GIM". Music therapist Kenneth Bruscia uses the following definition to describe Guided Imagery and Music: "(GIM) refers to all forms of music-imaging in an expanded state of consciousness, including not only the specific individual and group forms that Bonny developed, but also all variations and modifications in those forms created by her followers." Helen Bonny studied with E. Thayer Gaston at the University of Kansas in the early 1960s, where she received her bachelor's degree in music education, with a major in music therapy. She continued on to receive a master's degree in music education with an emphasis in research.〔''Music Consciousness: The Evolution of Guided Imagery and Music'', by Helen Bonny, ed. by Lisa Summer (2002), p. 7〕 After completing her PhD in the late 1960s, she began researching the effects of music on imagination, and in 1973 authored a book, co-written with Louis Savary, entitled "Music and Your Mind: Listening with a New Consciousness"〔"Pickett, E. A History of the Literature of Guided Imagery of Music. From ''Guided Imagery and Music'' ed. by Bruscia, K. & Grocke, D. (2002). pp. xv-xvi〕 Although Guided Imagery and Music draws from various schools of psychology, Helen Bonny has cited as its main influences the humanistic and the transpersonal psychology of Carl Rogers, and Abraham Maslow. Bonny was also profoundly influenced by the work of Carl Jung.〔''Music Consciousness: The Evolution of Guided Imagery'' (2002), p. 12〕 Helen Bonny's grandson, Miles Bonny is an active recording musician in Kansas City, Mo. ==References== 〔 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「Helen Bonny」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
