Description

Le Bethlem Royal Hospital est un hôpital psychiatrique situé à Beckenham dans le borough londonien de Bromley. Il est reconnu comme la première institution occidentale ayant offert des services de soins psychiatriques. Même s'il ne se trouve plus à son emplacement original, ce serait le plus ancien hôpital qui se spécialise dans les soins psychiatriques. Au XXIe siècle, il offre des services de pointe pour le traitement des problèmes de santé mentale, mais il est réputé pour avoir été le théâtre de plusieurs pratiques cruelles et inhumaines.

Il est connu sous divers noms : St. Mary Bethlehem, Bethlem Hospital, Bethlehem Hospital et Bedlam. Le mot anglais « bedlam », qui signifie chahut et confusion, trouve son origine dans son nom. Il pouvait aussi avoir le sens d'asile d'aliénés puisqu'on lit chez Voltaire : « ce monde est un grand Bedlam, où des fous enchaînent d'autres fous ».
