摘要 　　在高度醫療化的現代社會當中，醫病關係是一個不容忽視的重要議題。二十世紀的醫療科技突飛猛進，但是病患所接受的醫療品質卻是越來越低劣。醫生過度強調科學與理性，失去對病人的尊重，因而導致醫療系統凌駕於人性之上的情境。《哈維》與《心靈病房》分別描述了病患在醫院所經歷的治療過程。透過這兩齣戲的比較，本文發現二十世紀下半葉的醫療系統對待病患的態度並無改善。透過傅柯與生命倫理學的觀點，本文旨在說明二十世紀醫療系統對人性所造成的迫害，並且探討醫療體系的威權如何被建立以及病患的自主權如何被剝奪。
     　　本論文分為四章。第一章說明柴絲和愛德森的生平背景、《哈維》與《心靈病房》的相關評論以及本論文的理論架構。第二章透過傅柯的觀點闡述醫護人員無形中施加於病患身上的醫療暴力。第三章透過生命倫理學的角度分析病患任由醫療體系擺佈的過程。第四章總結醫護人員對病患的操控以及病患在醫療系統中所遭遇的困境，並且重申醫療系統應該以「以病患為中心」的醫療模式取代傳統霸權式的醫療。
In the madicalized society, the doctor-patient relationship is a significant issue because medical science has had tremendous breakthroughs in the twentieth century, yet the quality of hospital care has become worse. Doctors, over-relying on science and rationality, lose respect for their patients, which leads to a situation of medical apparatuses above humanity. Mary Chase’s Harvey and Margaret Edson’s Wit describe patients’ experience in hospital respectively. Through the comparison and contrast of the plays, this thesis cannot see any improvement in doctors’ treatment of patients. Therefore, aiming at demonstrating the dehumanizing evil of medical apparatuses, this thesis elaborates the construction of medical authority from the perspective of Foucault’s analysis of disciplinary power and reflects on the deprival of patients’ autonomy with the approach of biomedical ethics.
      This thesis is divided into four chapters. Chapter One introduces the backgrounds of the authors, literature review of Harvey and Wit and the theoretical frameworks of Foucault and biomedical ethics. Chapter Two, focusing on the rigid disciplinary power of medical apparatuses, illustrates hospital staff’s evil practice on patients. Chapter Three demonstrates the dehumanized patients under the manipulation of medical discipline and unethical treatment. Chapter Four concludes hospital staff’s manipulation of patients and patients’ dilemmas in medical institution and then reiterates the significance of the patient-centered treatment.
