He was the winner of the 2013 Theodore Millon Award, given by the American Psychological Association and American Psychological Foundation for mid-career excellence in personality research and scholarship.

Huprich has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and delivered more than 200 presentations. He is author or editor of six textbooks, including Personality Disorders: Toward Theoretical and Empirical Integration in Assessment and Diagnosis (2015, published by the American Psychological Association). Huprich's research interests are the classification, assessment, and diagnosis of personality disorders and in psychoanalytic and psychodynamic approaches to psychotherapy. His research has focused on depressive, masochistic/self-defeating, narcissistic, borderline, and dependent personality disorders and has recently focused on the concept of malignant self-regard as a unifying construct among several of these disorders. He is also interested in how personality can be utilized as an organizing framework for psychopathology, and how personality pathology is related to health care utilization. Huprich also is a licensed psychologist and has been practicing for 20 years. He is also a licensed clinical psychologist, Northville, Mich., where he treats adults in psychoanalytically informed psychotherapy and conducts diagnostic assessments. He joined the University in 2016 and was appointed as associate dean in 2023.
