Title: [Chi-liang Kwei and an unfulfilled plan of establishing a modern psychiatric hospital in China].
Abstract: Church General Hospital in Wuchang, China planned to establish a psychiatric hospital in 1930. Chi-liang Kwei, received his PhD at Johns Hopkins Medical School of America and was appointed to be in charge of the preparation. After working out a draft plan for the hospital, Dr. Kwei applied for the Henderson Research Scholarship on Mental Diseases. She planned to study under the guidance of Dr. D.K. Henderson in the Glasgow Mental Royal Hospital for a full year in preparation for the establishment of the hospital. By drawing on the correspondence files of Chi-liang Kwei and psychiatrists Adolf Meyer and David Kennedy Henderson, the paper describes the background conditions and planning for the hospital establishment and interprets the significance and value of Chi-liang Kwei's efforts to establish a psychiatric hospital from the perspective of the historic development of modern psychiatry in China.1930年中华圣公会武昌同仁医院计划添设精神病院,留美医学博士桂质良负责建院工作。桂质良拟定了建院方案,还申请了“亨德森精神疾病研究奖学金”,计划远赴格拉斯哥皇家精神病院,跟随精神病学家大卫·肯尼迪·亨德森学习一年,为建院做准备。根据桂质良与精神病学家阿道夫·麦尔和亨德森的书信档案,结合相关文献,梳理了武昌精神病院建院规划的背景条件、内容要点。虽然武昌精神病院的规划未能实施,但它是中国首个现代精神病院的建设方案,在中国现代精神病学发展史上具有意义和价值。.
