The National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology (National Register), in conjunction with the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students (APAGS), awarded 13 doctoral students in psychology the prestigious National Psychologist Trainee Register (NPTR) Credentialing Scholarship. Recent IPS alumnus, Eric M. Gudan, Psy.D., was one of them.
“The NPTR Credentialing Scholarship is presented to exceptional doctoral students in psychology interested in becoming credentialed by the National Register through its student program, the National Psychologist Trainee Register,” explained Andrew Boucher of the National Register. “These individuals are recognized for their exemplary commitment to academic and professional excellence.”
Dr. Gudan is currently completing a post-doctoral position with Catholic Social Services of Southern Nebraska in Lincoln. He is also pursuing licensure and expanding his dissertation research on the therapeutic applications of gratitude and other positive psychology findings that can increase psychological flourishing. Dr. Gudan is particularly interested in bridging Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which he calls “an impressive example of "third-wave" Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT),” with a theist perspective.
Dr. Gudan’s dissertation was entitled Gratitude-Based Interventions for Treating Ruminative Depression. He successfully defended his dissertation in April 2010.
“It is a great indicator of both the quality of training in our degree programs and of the students of the IPS," said Dr. William Nordling, Ph.D., chairman of the department of psychology at IPS.
The National Register is the largest credentialing organization for psychologists. It provides psychology doctoral students and trainees with resources on education and training and a credentials banking process through its student program. This program gives psychology doctoral students and trainees the knowledge and tools for a successful career in health service provision in psychology. Psychologists who are awarded national registrant status have achieved the highest educational and professional standards in health care. It is the only independent credentialing body with a national level standard for verifying education and training qualifications, licensing, and ethical standards, with more than 12,000 doctoral level psychologists in its database.
