The present study investigated the effects of dog therapy (i. e., animal assisted therapy with dogs: DT) on elderly clients at a geriatric hospital from the view of transfiguration of collectivity. Generally speaking, animal assisted therapy (AAT) has been said that it improved only the clients' health. However, it was found that AAT was effective not only for the clients, but also for the staff members of facilities, the volunteers conducting AAT, and the other members concerned in AAT. AAT gave variety to the collectivity (Sugiman, 1998) in which AAT is conducted. After introducing DT, the clients changed their Hyoujou (e. g., look, atmosphere; Hiromatsu, 1989), and the relation between the clients and staffs at the hospital was transfigured by DT. These variations of the members concerned with DT were derivedfrom the changes of tacit premises in the hospital caused by transfiguration of collectivity. DT had an impact for the collectivity at the hospital and generated new tacit premises and collective behaviors.
