An overview of psychiatric hospitalization in Poland is presented in the context of Polish political and socio-cultural developments. The areas addressed include: the characteristics of the patient population; the organization of Polish mental health service; the nature of psychiatric treatment; psychiatric legislation; patients' rights; and the training and social status of the various mental health professionals. In spite of the meager resources allocated to mental health services, and the consequent staff shortages and overcrowded, drab living conditions in psychiatric facilities, the care afforded patients is generally humane and nonoppressive. Polish psychiatry has succeeded in maintaining its professional autonomy and has assumed a leadership role in the modernization of its service delivery system.
本文结合波兰的政治和社会文化发展情况，对波兰的精神病住院治疗进行了概述。探讨的领域包括：患者群体的特征；波兰心理健康服务的组织；精神治疗的性质；精神科立法；患者权利；以及各类心理健康专业人员的培训和社会地位。尽管分配给心理健康服务的资源匮乏，导致人员短缺，精神病设施内生活条件拥挤且单调，但给予患者的护理总体上是人道且非压迫性的。波兰精神病学成功地保持了其专业自主性，并在其服务提供系统的现代化进程中发挥了领导作用。
