To assess psychopathology in transsexuals at different phases of sex reassignment, we administered the Spanish adaptation of the MMPI-2 (Avila-Espada & Jiménez-Gómez, 1999) to 107 male-to-female and 56 female-to-male transsexuals. Except for the Mf scale, mean T scores from the Clinical scales were within the normal range and did not differ between sexes. Male-to-female transsexuals seeking sex-reassignment hormonal therapy, but not female-to-male patients, scored significantly higher on the Depression, Hysteria, Psychopathic Deviate, Schizophrenia, and Social Introversion scales than patients seeking sex-reassignment surgery. The results show that the majority of patients were free of psychopathology. Transsexuals in the initial phases of sex reassignment may experience more distress than in later phases; however, these results are unlikely to reflect clinically relevant differences.
为了评估变性者在性别重新分配不同阶段的精神病理学状况，我们对107名男变女和56名女变男的变性者施测了西班牙文版的明尼苏达多相人格测验第二版（MMPI-2）（阿维拉-埃斯帕达和希门尼斯-戈麦斯，1999）。除了男子气-女子气量表（Mf量表）外，临床量表的平均T分数在正常范围内，且男女之间没有差异。寻求性别重新分配激素治疗的男变女变性者，而非女变男患者，在抑郁、癔症、精神病态偏差、精神分裂症和社会内向性量表上的得分显著高于寻求性别重新分配手术的患者。结果表明，大多数患者没有精神病理学问题。处于性别重新分配初始阶段的变性者可能比后期阶段经历更多的痛苦；然而，这些结果不太可能反映出临床上的相关差异。
