title: [An MMPI subscale for assessment alexithymia in duodenal ulcer patients].
abstract: We measured the alexithymia by the Kleiger-Kinsman scale in 36 patients with D.U.D. We employed 34 patients with irritables Bowel Syndrome and 30 patients with chronic organic pathologia as control groups. Our results show two possible conclusions: 1) The absence alexithymia's specificity in our ulcerous patients and/or the incapacity of this M.M.P.I.'s subescale to discriminate this feature in the psichosomatic diseases.
