Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is highly respected within the medical community. It is not offered as an alternative to traditional medical and psychological treatments but as a complement to these approaches. Our experience over nearly three decades suggests that doing what you can for yourself, coupled with what your physician can do for you, can be far more effective than either approach used on its own.
The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School is dedicated to furthering the practice and integration of mindfulness in the lives of individuals, institutions, and in society through a wide range of clinical, research, education, and outreach initiatives in the public and private sector. We are working in increasing depth with medical students and residents, as well as with corporate leaders. Our professional education programs are reaching into Australia, South Africa, Europe, Costa Rica, Canada, and the United States. Research investigations of mindfulness are increasing.
