If you're unaware of what or why you might want an RDT. Here's some info for you: A Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) is a Master’s level credential requiring coursework in psychology and drama therapy, experience in theater and supervised internship and work experience. The RDT is a peer reviewed credential in the practice of drama therapy and RDTs are required to follow the NADT Code of Ethics. The RDT is granted by the National Association for Drama Therapy and indicates that one has met the training requirements and achieved competency in the practice of drama therapy.
