Resumen	The TAS-20 is a 20-item self-report measure of alexithymia, the difficulty identifying and describing emotions. Developed by Bagby, Parker, and Taylor in 1994, it is the most widely used alexithymia measure in clinical and research practice. Alexithymia is recognized as a transdiagnostic feature across substance use, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and somatic symptom disorders, making the TAS-20 valuable for identifying emotion processing deficits that complicate treatment.	The DERS is a 36-item self-report measure assessing multidimensional emotion dysregulation across six related but distinct facets. Developed by Gratz and Roemer in 2004, it has become a cornerstone transdiagnostic measure in emotion regulation research, capturing emotional avoidance, behavioral dyscontrol, and limited coping awareness that cut across psychiatric conditions.
