A search of Virginia medical license records shows us 2 active licenses, one for clinical psychology and one for school psychology, active until June, 2017.

A reference to "vanity boards", organizations that allow a person to become "board certified" without receiving any training in their respective field of study. https://books.google.com/books?id=n2ow0BFApTAC&pg=PA21&lpg=PA21&dq=%22vanity+boards%22&source=bl&ots=UA_Rl2PJ63&sig=E9yC-C3gF75ZgYGykQPxaNGhvfc&hl=en&ei=kSIXTuznMYOHsAKS6YRH&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result#v=onepage&q=%22vanity%20boards%22&f=false

Mr Federici claims these board certifications:

*Diplomate-American Board of Professional Neuropsychology (ABPN)

(One of two largest neuropsychology review boards, not affiliated with the American Board of Professional Psychologists, no known affiliation with American Psychological Association)

*Diplomate-American Board of Medical Psychotherapists (ABMP)

(Incorporated by the American Board of Professional Education and Credentialing, Inc.; now listed as inactive; dissolved.)

https://www.bizapedia.com/tn/american-board-of-professional-education-and-credentialing-inc.html

(ABPEC was run by Peter Weiss, an attorney with 44 years experience, specializing in real estate law.) http://www.lawyers.com/brentwood/tennessee/peter-weiss-1597274-a/

*Diplomate-Fellow in Advanced Psychopharmacology (FICPP)

(FICPP is an acronym for Fellow International College of Prescribing Psychologists. A subsidiary of Prescribing Psychologists Register, it seems not many folks hold a FICPP or PPR in high regard.

From John M. Grohol, Psy.D

A company called the “Prescribing Psychologists’ Register” has been around for many years, selling continuing education courses to psychologists looking to learn how to prescribe psychiatric prescription medications for mental disorders.

Prescribing Psychologists’ Register isn’t an American Psychological Association (APA) approved sponsor of continuing education at this time. Therefore its continuing education courses aren’t recognized as being officially credentialed by the primary credentialing body of psychologists.

So who is this “International College of Prescribing Psychologists?”

None other than the same people who run Prescribing Psychologists’ Register in Florida.)

*Diplomate-American Board of Disability Analysts (ABDA)

(According to the BBB, the ABDA is out of business)

https://www.bbb.org/nashville/business-reviews/associations/american-board-of-disability-analysts-in-nashville-tn-19111280

According to their website there are only two organizations affiliated with the ABDA:

http://www.americandisability.org/affiliated.html

American Board of medical psychotherapists and psychodiagnosticians

(Trademarked by AMERICAN BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION AND CREDENTIALING, INC. The same guy, Peter Weiss, trademarked the American Board of Medical Psychotherapists, another of Federici's "board certifications")

http://www.trademarkia.com/american-board-of-medical-psychotherapists-73750430.html

American Board of Professional Disability Consultants

( A U.S. federal trademark registration was filed for AMERICAN BOARD OF PROFESSIONAL DISABILITY CONSULTANTS by American Board of Professional Disability Consultants, Falls Church, VA 22041.

*Fellow-American College of Professional Neuropsychology

(American College Of Professional Neuropsychology is a Vermont Trade Name filed on February 27, 2014 .)

https://www.bizapedia.com/vt/american-college-of-professional-neuropsychology.html

(The ACPN is trademarked by: The American Board Of Professional Neuropsychology, Inc. is a Georgia Domestic Non-Profit Corporation filed on June 7, 1982 . The company's filing status is listed as Dissolved)

https://www.bizapedia.com/ga/the-american-board-of-professional-neuropsychology-inc.html

(According to this, the ABPN is run out of a P.O. Box in Wheeling, Illinois.)

https://greatnonprofits.org/org/american-board-of-professional-neuropsychology

*Diplomate – American Academy of Behavioral Medicine

http://www.academyofbmr.org/

(This is the only organization I've found resembling the name "American Academy of Behavioral Medicine". It's not the same organization obviously, Federici's website IS THE ONLY REFERENCE I could find to this particular organization.)

There is no evidence that Ronald Federici possesses a medical degree.

There is evidence of a dissertation for work toward a PsyD from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology in the 1980s, but curiously he has not listed this school in any biography.

Neuropsychological and Family Practice Associates (in McLean, Virginia; recently restaffed and relocated from Alexandria, Virginia)

owned by Federici. In 2007, he filed for bankruptcy to discharge his personal guarantees of business debts for his practice.
