Once you've downloaded the DTR packet from the ADTA website and have communicated with the national office that you are an alternate route student, which is very important in case of any changes or modifications to the requirements, you're well on your way toward registry!
You'll find a checklist in the beginning of that packet. Become very, v e r y familiar with it.
The M.A. I am a candidate for is a non-ADTA approved program in Dance/Movement Therapy (and Expressive Arts Therapy, see earlier posts for more information), but I am also an alternate route student, planning on taking courses in DMT offered with CMER. These courses include the required DMT theory and training (see DTR packet for specific hours and credit requirements):
1. Dance/Movement Therapy Theory and Practice,
2. Group Processes in DMT,
3. Movement Observation and Assessment,
4. Anatomy and Kinesiology
**Anatomy and Kinesiology and Movement Observation and Assessment is NOT covered in CMER's program.
I have completed 3 units in Anatomy/Kinesiology with Amy Matthews at LIMS in New York City, and plan on taking Laban Movement Analysis courses for the Movement Observation requirement.
General Training must include:
Research Design and Methodology,
Abnormal Psychology/Psychopathology,
Developmental Psychology,
Group Processes/Dynamics,
Advanced Counseling/Psychology Couses,
Theories of Therapy/Counseling,
Therapeutic Intervention,
Diagnostic Methodology,
Systems Theory
Training:
A minimum requirement of five years of concentrated study in dance, including form, school/city, teacher(s), and years.
Collateral Dance Studies, such as dance theory, dance composition, creative dance, improvisation, etc., and Movement Studies, such as yoga, Alexander Technique, tai chi, etc.
Dance experience in performance or choreography and teaching dance is necessary.
You'll also need recommendations from two ADTRs who've seen your work in the past two years, and fieldwork supervision (200 hours) and an internship (700 hours) with at least two populations.
Phew! There is a lot to do! Let's get started!
