陳瑞燕教授 (中心總監)



陳瑞燕現任香港中文大學心理系教授及心智綜合復康中心總監。陳氏生於中國香港,少年時赴美留學。先後取得美國密芝根大學學士,心理學碩士及社會工作學碩士。繼後到美國加州大學聖地牙歌分校跟隨國際著名的腦神經科學家學習,於1995年取得博士學位,主修臨床腦功能心理學。

陳教授從事研究腦功能與智慧二十多載,成果備受認同。陳氏從事研究工作多年,對瞭解人腦的變化及其功能的影響作了相當的貢獻。她於1998年在美國《自然》雜誌發表了一篇人類早期經驗與腦功能發展的理論,備受注目,獲世界各地傳媒包括英國廣播電台、美國廣播電台、紐約時報等一一報道。她始於1993年發表老人癡呆症的腦認知神經網絡的理論,被美國心理學會及國際腦功能心理學會頒發傑出科研獎項。又於2004年,陳教授獲美國心理學會頒發早期成就獎以表揚她對腦科學研究及發展的貢獻,亦於2011年獲香港中文大學傑出科研獎的殊榮。她亦於2003年獲選為香港十大傑出青年。

陳教授亦獲多所海外學府及機構委以榮譽職位,包括曾擔任聖地牙歌州立大學的客席教授、加州大學雅氏癡呆症研究中心的顧問、美國密芝根大學客席教授。她也是《腦功能》學術雜誌的顧問編輯,《國際腦功能心理學會》學術雜誌的編輯委員,亦曾是國際腦功能心理學會的董事會員(此權威學會自一九六零年成立後,陳氏是首位中國人被邀請為董事會員)。另外,陳氏常被邀請到世界各地包括美國首都華盛頓、韓國國會、哈佛大學、北京大學等講學。在中國及香港,陳氏為香港腦功能心理學會的創會主席,曾任伊利沙伯醫院榮譽顧問,大口環根德公爵夫人兒童醫院的榮譽顧問,及汕頭大學榮譽教授。陳教授致力培養這方面的人才,桃李滿門,學生包括大學教授及臨床心理學家。此外,她更致力在中國推動腦功能科學的發展,曾於中國多個地區如北京、上海、廣東及杭州等講學。

陳教授亦是一位經驗豐富的臨床腦功能心理學家,亦服務腦部異常病患者十多年,專科老人癡呆症、自閉症、失憶症、中風及過動症等。留美期間,她曾服務於美國軍人醫院、合氏康復中心及雅氏癡呆症研究中心。回港後,陳教授亦繼續為腦病患者提供服務。由於缺乏一些適合中國人的測試工具及身心療法,陳教授回港後致力發展本土的臨床工具,編著了《香港文字記憶學習測試》及中文版《老人癡呆症量表》。其他著作書籍包括《提昇兒童大腦功能四部曲》(2009年,中華書局)、《德建身心療法®》第四版增訂本(2009年,禪武醫文化出版社,繁體版)及《少林禪武醫精要》(2011年,禪武醫文化出版社,繁體版)。

陳教授自少喜愛中國武學,十六歲開始習武,及後隨德建禪師學習少林禪武醫; 並先後獲中國中醫研究院中醫學證書及香港大學臨床針灸證書。近年,陳教授更致力研究少林醫學的臨床應用。陳教授於2006年發表丹田與腦部活躍關係的文章。於2007年,陳教授將德建禪師傳授的少林禪武醫學簡化為大眾易學易用的《德建身心療法®》,並且正進行一連串的科學研究以了解德建身心療法®對情緒問題及腦功能異常病患的效用,初步研究結果亦令人鼓舞。少林醫學應用於臨床上有 助改善自閉兒童的行為、記憶、自我控制能力及智商;並且有助改善抑鬱情緒、睡眠、消化系統及集中力等。
