RESUMO
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.

We study the aggressivity level and its direction in the context of personality, in 36 patients with DUD (23 males and 13 females). We employed 30 patients with chronic disease (15 men with COPD and 15 female with arthrosis) as control groups, in addition to the normal population. The purpose of this investigation is to determinate if suffering or chronicity could determinate psychopathological findings similar to those described in the literature about patients with DUD. The results point out that we can not consider a specific ulcerous personality, but a psychophysiological reaction or psychopathological alterations resulting from a somatic disease, on the other hand the autoaggressivity factor pulsion-inhibition, is the most reliable variable when compared with control groups (p less than 0.05-0.01).

We measure aggressivity in 36 patients with DUD (duodenal ulcer disease). We use two control groups as sample: normal population and other group of chronic organic pathologies. The results denote that the autoaggression-inhibition factor is the best discriminate variable to our group of duodenal ulcer patients of both sexes.
