Competency standards are increasingly used in a range of vocations to provide the basis of benchmarks for professionals’ success in the workplace. They also provide measurement criteria for assessing the attainment of competency, which includes both proven skills and proven knowledge. While these standards are utilised in many health professions internationally, including arts and music therapies, they appear not yet ubiquitous in dance movement therapy. This article discusses the development of competency standards by the professional association DTAA, whose geographic remit for the profession of dance movement therapy covers Australasia (Australia, New Zealand and some Asia-Pacific nations). The article outlines the methods used to develop and validate the competencies, including modified functional analysis, artistic enquiry involving improvised movement, critical incident interviews and Delphi-style consultation with DTAA members. The current version of the standards is presented, with its seven units of: Dance movement therapy knowledge; Dance skills; Body in movement; Therapeutic knowledge and skills; Dance movement therapy practice; Fundamental research skills; and Professional practice, along with associated elements and performance criteria. While these standards were developed for the Australasian context, the article addresses the possibility of their usefulness more broadly, including the potential benefit to the profession internationally of shared standards.

能力标准越来越多地用于各种职业，为专业人员在工作场所取得成功提供了基准。他们还提供了评估能力水平的衡量标准，其中包括成熟的技能和成熟的知识。尽管这些标准已在国际上许多健康专业领域中使用，包括艺术和音乐疗法，但它们在舞蹈运动疗法中似乎尚未普及。本文讨论了专业协会DTAA制定的能力标准，该协会的舞蹈动作疗法专业领域覆盖澳大利亚（澳大利亚，新西兰和某些亚太国家）。本文概述了用于开发和验证能力的方法，包括修改后的功能分析，艺术询问，包括即兴动作，重大事件访谈以及与DTAA成员进行的Delphi式咨询。介绍了标准的当前版本，包括七个单元：舞蹈动作疗法知识；舞蹈技巧；运动中的身体；治疗知识和技能；舞蹈动作疗法的实践；基础研究技能；和专业实践，以及相关的要素和绩效标准。虽然这些标准是针对澳大利亚环境而开发的，但本文更广泛地讨论了其有用性的可能性，包括共享标准对国际专业人士的潜在利益。舞蹈动作疗法知识；舞蹈技巧；运动中的身体；治疗知识和技能；舞蹈动作疗法的实践；基础研究技能；和专业实践，以及相关的要素和绩效标准。虽然这些标准是针对澳大利亚环境而开发的，但本文更广泛地讨论了其有用性的可能性，包括共享标准对国际专业人士的潜在利益。舞蹈动作疗法知识；舞蹈技巧；运动中的身体；治疗知识和技能；舞蹈动作疗法的实践；基础研究技能；和专业实践，以及相关的要素和绩效标准。虽然这些标准是针对澳大利亚环境而开发的，但本文更广泛地讨论了其有用性的可能性，包括共享标准对国际专业人士的潜在利益。
