Abstract

The historical development of knowledge and the health approach to different social groups have promoted the transition from a biomedical approach into a biopsychosocial one. From this perspective, 32 years ago the Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) was conceived, as a strategy of inclusion and promotion of the rights of the people with disabilities. The implementation of the new way of rehabilitation in Chile has been late. The current stage of the country imposes multiple obs- tacles to the development of this model. Considering the Chilean society characteristics and it professionals, Is it possible to reach the goals and aims proposed for the CBR? In this essay is described the Chilean reality and the current feasibility of implementing a CBR program, following the guidelines proposed by the WHO (2012) and the orientations dictated by the Health Ministry (2010). In this essay is possible to identify the main obstacles in Chile related to the social, political and professional resistance to the CBR.
