          Abstract

          El cáncer de mama está caracterizado por el crecimiento desmedido de células y está relacionado a factores externos e internos. Ésta es la causa primordial de muerte entre las mujeres puertorriqueñas. La resiliencia permite que la persona haga frente a situaciones adversas e involucra factores intelectuales, intrapsíquicos e interpersonales. El propósito del trabajo fue explorar la relación mente-cuerpo en la condición y superación luego del tratamiento de cáncer. Los resultados revelan cómo se desarrolla el proceso de significado dado a la enfermedad. Las participantes lucharon por superarse, desarrollando fortalezas cognoscitivas y emocionales durante la recuperación. Así hallaron, el propósito y los aspectos positivos en la vida y hasta vieron la enfermedad como una oportunidad para crecer y beneficiarse.

          Translated abstract

          Breast cancer has unbridled cell growth, and is related to external and internal factors. It has been identified as the main cause of death by cancer in Puerto Rican women. Resilience fosters an attitude that allows dealing with adverse situations by developing intellectual, intrapsychic, and interpersonal factors that strengthen their view of life. The purpose of this qualitative research was to explore the mindbody relationship, during and after the conclusion of treatment for breast cancer. Results reveal how the meaning towards the disease is developed. The participating women battled for survival by developing cognitive and emotional strengths during the recovering phase of the treatment, thus finding purpose in life, positive aspects and perceiving the disease as an opportunity for personal growth and development.

            Positive psychology in clinical practice.

            Positive psychology is the scientific study of positive experiences and positive individual traits, and the institutions that facilitate their development. A field concerned with well-being and optimal functioning, positive psychology aims to broaden the focus of clinical psychology beyond suffering and its direct alleviation. Our proposed conceptual framework parses happiness into three domains: pleasure, engagement, and meaning. For each of these constructs, there are now valid and practical assessment tools appropriate for the clinical setting. Additionally, mounting evidence demonstrates the efficacy and effectiveness of positive interventions aimed at cultivating pleasure, engagement, and meaning. We contend that positive interventions are justifiable in their own right. Positive interventions may also usefully supplement direct attempts to prevent and treat psychopathology and, indeed, may covertly be a central component of good psychotherapy as it is done now.
