这个名称来自20世纪60-70年代在北美和欧洲兴起的公民权利运动的一部分。有过精神科经历、或正在使用精神科药物/治疗的使用者、和精神科幸存者（受害者） ，意识到自己不是精神科治疗的被动接受者（受体），对于自己的治疗，自己应该掌握主动。一系列公民行动带出了幸存者（和使用者）们对精神医学的反思和批判，主体意识的提升——首先是人，然后才是病人。因此，幸存者们同时开始寻觅能替代精神医学的”另类“方法，真正对自己有效，真正的疗愈（healing）,而不是治我（treatment）。

A Doctor (physician), Tan Qindong, who was detained by police due to writing an article online doubting about the effectiveness of a commercial product: Hongmao wine for medication, was now reported that he has suffered severe “psychiatric symptoms” yesterday, and has been committed to psychiatric hospital as he had isolated himself, self-hurting himself.
– in Guangzhou Baiyun Psychiatric Hospital, China

This is an interesting case as it shows (again) the fact that it is still very easy to commit a so-called ‘patient’ to a psychiatric hospital in China, even today.
Lily, a woman with a diagnosis of depression, went to see psychiatrist in Baiyun Psychiatric Hospital ‘companied’ by her boyfriend’s colleagues. The psychiatrist made diagnosis of her by only asking some questions to those two people accompanied about her conditions. Further, one of the man accompanied signed on the Informed Consent Paper for Involuntary Commitment for Lily. As a result, Lily was sent into the isolated ward of that hospital for at least three months (since December of 2017).
As usual, Lily and the men who commit her, have different telling of the story. Lily said she was cheated to come to see the doctor without knowing where to go with her boyfriend’s colleagues. But the men denied this.
The most interesting thing here is that the psychiatrist listened to the men who commit her only, and made diagnosis based on such limited information without any investigation. Hence, the psychiatrist(s)(maybe more than one) issued the informed consent paper to these two men and accepted their signatures.
According to Mental Health Law which was launched in 2013, only guardians (who primarily are the close relatives) of the ‘patient’ have the privileges to approve the involuntary commitment and discharge of the ‘patient’ who is diagnosed to be ‘dangerous’ by psychiatrist
Obviously, the psychiatrists in Baiyun Hospital violated the law. Recently the administrative department of local authority issued an order to the hospital asking them to correct their medical behavior and urging them to regulate their ‘professional’ procedure.

(This is just a translation by meaning. There are some words added and ignored by translator.)
Some background information:
The plaintiff of the first case in Mental Health Law of China, Xu Wei, is a man who has been committed to psychiatric hospital and institutions for about 14 years (from 2002 to 2017). When Mental Health Law was enacted in May of 2013, Xu Wei was able to ask for dischargement with the assistance of lawyer Yang and a dedicated NGO. Even though the MHL set explicitly the patient’s right to sue as well as their right to discharge by themselves (in the situation of no dangerousness), the persons with psychosocial(mental) disabilities can still be entitled as incapacitated or limited capacitated before the law. This is mainly regulated in civil laws of China. Thus, Xu Wei and lawyer Yang started their five-year long journey to fight for his right to discharge.

This article is to introduce a sort of private educational schools(institutions) which use violent and abusive methods to “educate” “problematic” young people. There are massive physical punishment, detention, child labor and aggressive word/behaviors done by the “teachers”/officers to every student in there. Many students suffer mental problems after being discharged from there and some even died or committed suicide before discharge. Mass media had reported these cases and the society knows about this, whereas such institutions exist legally by far, and the number of them does not seem to be decreased.
The founder of such institutions are often those ex-teachers (who have previously teaching experience) or businessmen. They rent a workplace and bought some equipment, and that’s it. Then they would invest on advertisement to recruit students, and further, to advertise that they are proficient at “educating problematic young people such as teenagers who have internet addiction”. What they promise they are capable of treating or curing includes: internet addiction, truancy and tiredness of schooling, early-age dating, run-away from home, violence and fighting, etc. (quoted from: [1]. It is not difficult to find out such an institution by searching on Baidu.com .)
As a fact in such institutions there are three types teachers/officers: military training officer, psychological teacher and care-giver. Most of them have no certificate as a teacher. Some psychological teachers have psychological background while some others were just previously teachers of other majors. And the so called care-givers are just aunts and uncles who are recruited from the local communities. [2]

[Please HELP Spread this !]
On October 29th of 2017, a Weibo account (@黑客凯文) and a Zhihu (Chinese variant of Quora) account (@wei-jia-fu-98) had disclosed their experiences of being committed into a kind of private institutions – in the name of quitting internet addiction and/or learning Sinology(Chinese ancient/traditional culture), and therefore being tortured and physically and mentally abused.
The source links are (in Chinese): 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5, 6
Public media has also reported: Sina Tech
Some background information:
It is widely known that there are many institutions built and run privately for the purposes including “helping” young people to quit “internet addiction syndromes”. Most of them are legal in Chinese administrative systems, (but not psychiatric hospitals). Some of them are registered as educational institutes while some others are registered as private medical institutes. Among them, the most notorious one is Yang Yongxin’s institution in Shandong province, whose abusive work had been disclosed by mass media several years ago but they are still alive and running.
