Verbal affective expression and psychometric variables were studied in a group of 5 duodenal ulcer and 6 irritable bowel patients. The aim was to assess the relevance of the alexithymia contruct to the distinction between both groups. Irritable bowel patients exhibited higher scores on Zung's depressiveness scale. Alexithymia scores were significantly higher for duodenal ulcer patients. Regarding verbal affective expression a discrimination was possible between both groups in the scale of hostility directed inward. Ulcer patients expressed less affect. These findings suggest that a distinction is possible at the behavioral level between patients with functional vs. patients with organic gastrointestinal illness, thus rendering the concept of alexithymia relevant to this nosological categorization.
对一组5名十二指肠溃疡患者和6名肠易激综合征患者的言语情感表达和心理测量变量进行了研究。目的是评估述情障碍结构与两组之间区分的相关性。肠易激综合征患者在zung抑郁量表上得分更高。十二指肠溃疡患者的述情障碍得分显著更高。关于言语情感表达，在对内敌意量表上两组之间可以进行区分。溃疡患者表达的情感较少。这些发现表明，在行为层面上，功能性胃肠道疾病患者与器质性胃肠道疾病患者之间是可以区分的，因此述情障碍的概念与这种疾病分类相关。
