Abstract: The Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-26) was administered to patients with sexual disorders (n = 112) and to healthy control subjects (n = 94).

“…Estes resultados levaram os autores a sugerir que a alexitimia, medida pela TAS-20, corresponde a um construto multidimensional que não é bem representado por um escore total de severidade da alexitimia, sendo conveniente a avaliação dos escores parciais relativos a cada um dos fatores. Bagby, Taylor e Parker (2003) indicam que muitos estudos têm encontrado correlações significantes positivas entre a TAS-26 e a TAS-20, e, inúmeras pesquisas com pacientes de diferentes clínicas médicas -tais como: pacientes com hipertensão (Pregnolatto, 2005), dor crônica (Kosturek, Gregory, Sousou & Trief, 1998;Millard & Kinsler, 1992), doenças gástricas (Fukunishi, Kikuchi, Kaji & Yamasaki, 1997;Medeiros, 2002), distúrbios sexuais (Madioni & Mammana, 2001;Wise, Osbourne, Strand, Fagan, & Schmidt, 2002), depressão (Parker, Bagby & Taylor, 1991;Wise, Mann & Randell, 1995), entre outras -têm sugerido a utilidade da TAS-26, e portanto, a pertinência da investigação das propriedades psicométricas desta versão com populações específicas. Este é o caso, por exemplo, dos pacientes brasileiros atendidos pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), que apresentam caracterís-ticas culturais diversas das evidenciadas por estudantes universitários e também de pacientes de hospitais gerais de países do primeiro mundo em que a maioria das pesquisas descritas foram realizadas.…”
