北京安定医院是我国现代化程度较高的和最大的精神病专科医院之一。它创建于1914年,其前身是北洋政府京师警察厅在石碑胡同开办的“病人收容所”。当时只是收容,没有治疗;只有看守,没有医护。倒像是“犯人看守所”。 解放后,党和政府十分重视和关怀精神卫生事业,于1959年将“病人收容所”更名为“北京安定医院”。 Beijing Anding Hospital is one of the most modern and largest psychiatric specialist hospitals in China. Founded in 1914, it was formerly known as the “patient shelter” operated by the Beiyang Government’s Capital Police Station at Stone Tablet Hutong. At that time, it was only sheltered and there was no treatment; only the caretaker had no medical care. The inverted image is the “convict detention center.” After the liberation, the party and government attached great importance to and cared about the mental health undertakings. In 1959, the “patient shelter” was renamed “Beijing Anding Hospital.”
