Requirements for Admission |
Application Process
Those wishing to enter the DFA Training Program must demonstrate an active
interest in, and knowledge of, the biological and behavioral sciences.
Candidates must also demonstrate sensitivity in relating to others and have a
creative interest in facilitating the process of change within themselves as well
as others. Listed below are the requirements for entering the training:
- DFA sessions: Each candidate must have been in process of weekly
sessions with a certified DFA practitioner for at least a year.
- Introductory workshop: Candidates must participate in a workshop led by
a DFA instructor certified for DFA introductory workshops.
- Psychological aptitude: The practice of DFA work evokes changes in the
emotional, mental, spiritual and physical aspects of the clients' experience.
DFA practitioners must demonstrate the knowledge and insight to effectively
facilitate these changes. Candidates for the DFA Training Program must
have appropriate academic and experiential grounding in psychology and
human behaviour.
- Educational Background and/or work experience DFA work requires a
cultural background which is acquired through some kind of classical
education in sciences or humanities and/or professional experience. The
DFA training program is not a substitute for this education, but rather builds
on it. Candidates must be willing to commit to be in an ongoing learning
process and, if necessary, even go back to school to deepen their general
understanding of culture. Part of the learning takes place in an ongoing
process of weekly DFA sessions even after certification.
- Knowledge of Human Anatomy: The study of human anatomy must
specifically include bones, and their articulation, physiology and kinesiology.
Other recommended areas of study include massage, bodywork techniques,
and life drawing.
- Licensing: According to each country's legislation. In the USA for example,
a massage license is required.
If requirements have been met, candidates are invited to present the materials listed in the Application Process.
