Janie Rhyne(1913-1995) was a pioneer in art therapy who used art as expression and communication.〔Agell, G., (1995). In memoriam: Janie Rhyne Ph.D, A.T.R.,HLM. ''American Journal of Art Therapy'', 33(4), 98.〕 She was also a pioneer of Gestalt art therapy, which integrated Gestalt therapy and art therapy. She encouraged clients themselves to interpret and express their feelings and emotions from art works.〔Amendt-Lyon, N.,(2001). Art and creativity in Gestalt therapy. ''The Analytic Press Gestalt Review'', 5(4), 225-248.〕 == Life and education == Rhyne was born in 1913 in Tallahassee, Florida. From her early years, she was very interested in art and people, which guided her academic pursuits. She entered the Florida State University and in 1935 earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with a double major in art and social science. After graduating the university, she learned for herself painting, psychology, homesteading, canning, and people, all of which provided a period of foundation for becoming a therapist.〔 In 1956, Rhyne received a Master of Arts from FSU in art and cultural anthropology. From 1965 to 1967, she trained at the San Francisco Gestalt institution as a gestalt therapist with Fritz Perls, who was the founder of Gestalt therapy. The training with Perls was most influential for her career, and convinced her that she was a Gestalt therapist who used art and led to her interest in art as therapy. In 1973, she publicated ''‘The Gestalt Art Experience’'' based on what she learned of art therapy and Gestalt therapy from Perls.〔 After she had published her book, she moved to Santa Cruz, California, where she enrolled in doctoral studies in Psychology at the University of California, Santa Cruz. For her dissertation, she designed her own approach of looking at visual expression as a visual construct for establishing a standard for future art therapy research, and in 1979, received a Ph.D.〔 In her later years, she lived with her daughter, son-in-law, her son, and her three grandchildren. Rhyne died March 1, 1995.〔 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「Janie Rhyne」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
