Daniel Gregory Amen (born 1954) is an American psychiatrist, a brain disorder specialist, director of the Amen Clinics, and a ''New York Times'' bestselling author. Amen's clinics offer medical services to people who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and other disorders. They use single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as a purported diagnostic tool to identify what he says are sub-categories of these disorders, as devised by Amen. However, Amen's use of SPECT scans to aid in psychiatric and neurological clinical diagnosis is based on unproven claims and has been widely criticized.〔〔〔 Amen has done studies on brain injuries affecting professional athletes,〔 and he is a post-concussion consultant for the National Football League. ==Early life and education== Amen was born in Encino, California, in 1954 to Lebanese immigrant parents.〔 He received his undergraduate biology degree from Southern California College in 1978 and his doctorate from Oral Roberts University School of Medicine in 1982. Amen did his general psychiatric training at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.,〔 and his child and adolescent psychiatry training at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu.〔 Amen fulfilled 200 hours of training to obtain his radioactive materials license from the Institute of Nuclear Medicine Education. He then carried out the required 1,000 hours of clinical supervision in reading scans.〔 Amen is double board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in General Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.〔See "Daniel Amen," https://www.certificationmatters.org/is-your-doctor-board-certified/search-now.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Amen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
