Reference excerpt

Teresa Borràs Cabacés (Reus, Spain, 25 July 1958), known in Spain as Tre Borràs or Dr. Tre, is a Spanish psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author and researcher, specializing in drug use and dependence and the responsible use of drugs.

Biography After graduating from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Borràs started working at the "Sant Joan de Deu" University Hospital of Reus, a medium-sized city in Tarragona province (Catalonia, Spain). She directed the service of mental health and substance use hosted by the Hospital between 1984 and 2023, and coordinated the municipality's plan of action on drugs (Pla d'accions sobre drogues) between 2004 and 2023. Borràs is known for her interdisciplinarity approach to drug use and dependence, and for pioneering a number of harm reduction services:

Opening of one of the first supervised injection sites in Europe, in 1999, Creation of a peer-support network (ARSU, Associació Reus Som Útils), Set-up of needle and syringe programmes in pharmacies, and dispensing machines, Clinical trial on the use of the traditional African psychedelic ibogaine for the treatment of opioid dependence, in collaboration with the International Center for Ethnobotanical Education, Research and Service foundation, A gender perspective in the response to mental health, recreational use of drugs and substance use disorders, including partnerships with Metzineres. One of the outputs is the documentary "Green Witch project" about "the use of cannabis by different groups of women from a broad perspective of harm and risk reduction", A response to drug-related issues integrating social and psychological aspects, beyond the unique focus on the substance and neural or biological mechanisms, Fostering of public debate and conferences in connection with various social and political stakeholders, Creation of a drug checking service, the "Isolab Reus" to analyze adulterated drugs in connection with the Trans-European Drug Information network, Eradicating hepatitis C virus among people who use drugs attending her services, as early as 2021.

Removal and controversy In April 2023, the dismissal of Dr. Borràs as head of both the hospital service and the municipal action plan was reported, raising suspicions about the continuity of the health and social care model she had leadered in Reus. Local stakeholders analyzed her dismissal of Borràs as "a clear disavowal of the orientation followed by it up to now". A petition opposing her dismissal, and demanding the continuation of the services pioneered by Dr Borràs reportedly received 2000 supports, including international organizations such as Harm Reduction International, International Drug Policy Consortium, or INPUD.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Tre Borràs Cabacés

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Tre Borràs Cabacés claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Tre Borràs Cabacés before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Tre Borràs Cabacés ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Tre Borràs Cabacés

In research: Tre Borràs Cabacés appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Tre Borràs Cabacés in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Tre Borràs Cabacés is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1958 births, 20th-century Spanish medical doctors, 20th-century Spanish women medical doctors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Tre Borràs Cabacés outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
