Welcome to REBAP Internacional (MBSR International) a web site dedicated to provide
information in Spanish about the history and development of the Stress Reduction Clinic at
the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine,
Health Care and Society, (CFM).
The CFM is a multidimensional center in the Division of Preventive and Behavioral Medicine,
within the Department of Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. For
thirty one years, the center has taken a leadership role in mind-body medicine, pioneering
the integration of mindfulness meditation and other mindfulness-based practices into
mainstream medicine through patient care, research, medical and professional education,
and to the larger society through outreach and public service initiatives.
Established in 1995, the CFM is an outgrowth of the acclaimed Stress Reduction Clinic - the
oldest and largest academic medical center based stress reduction program in the world. The
Stress reduction Clinic was founded in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. The CFM has become
a leader in the fields of mind-body and integrative medicine. The center has pursued an
active research agenda developing clinical trials, publishing scientific papers and books, and
inspiring clinical research by colleagues in the U.S. and around the world.
This web site in Spanish highlights the origins of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
(MBSR) and the CFM in Spanish and its expansion through the Spanish-speaking world. It
also talks about the different MBSR classes and professional trainings available in Spanish
language in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Argentina, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico.
Through the years, a variety of publications and teaching materials about mindfulness
meditation and its application as mindfulness-based stress reduction have become available
in Spanish. Some of them are originals in Spanish, others are translations from English. Most
of them are listed in this web site under: "materiales y recursos para la práctica".
The purpose behind the creation of REBAP International is to complement the work and
efforts of the CFM by making available all the information and history about the Center and
its founders to the Spanish-speaking world.
Fernando A. de Torrijos, founder of REBAP Internacional, joined the CFM's professional
team in 1994 as teacher and as director of its satellite inner city clinic. Fernando is a resident
of Worcester, Massachusetts. He has conducted over 3,000 hours of MBSR classes and
professional training programs for the last 15 years in the U.S. and also in Argentina, Mexico,
Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Spain.
Recently he was appointed Director of Mindfulness Programs in Psychiatry, at
UMassMemorial Medical Center/University of Massachusetts Medical School, His main role is
the development and integration of mindfulness programs in the department of psychiatry, its
clinical applications of Mindfulness; professional training offered regularly to faculty,
clinicians, psychiatric residents and medicals students; and research using the latest
technology
Previously he worked in one of the largest independent community health centers in the
state of Massachusetts, integrating mindfulness programs complementary to the treatment of
patients with chronic conditions. This community health center provides complete health care
services to over 20,000 low income patients of which 50% are Spanish speaking and 25%
Portuguese speaking.
Since 1994, a special effort was made to develop MBSR teaching and professional training
materials in Spanish: tape and CD recordings, workbooks, handouts, publicity pamphlets and
other outreach materials, research instruments, professional training manuals, etc.
Finally in Spring 2004, "Full Catastrophe Linving: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind
to Face Stress, Pain, and Ilness" by Jon Kabat-Zinn Ph.D., was publish in Spanish by Editorial
Kairós, Barcelona, Spain, with the title: "Vivir con Plenitud las Crisis: Utilizando la sabiduría
del cuerpo y de la mente para afrontar el estrés, el dolor y la enfermedad". This event
opened new possibilities for the expansion and understanding of MBSR in the Spanish
speaking world and its applications within medicine, health care and society.
The PBS series by Bill Moyers "Healing and the Mind", helped enormously in the
dissemination of MBSR nation wide. This series was dubbed in Spanish by Holograma, a
private TV production company in Argentina, and aired on the Latino-American televisions.
The same company did a two-hour interview about MBSR and mindfulness to Dr. Jon
Kabat-Zinn during our visit to Buenos Aires in 2000. This interview, one of the best by Dr.
Kabat-Zinn, was done in English with subtitles in Spanish, and was featured several times by
Latino-American TV stations.
All these publications and productions are available in the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico
throught REBAP Internacional. To request information and order forms contact:
