PECANHA, Dóris Lieth; KARIEL, Marcela de Souza y BENZE, Benedito Galvão. Fables test: study in psychosomatic. Bol. psicol [online]. 2014, vol.64, n.141, pp.173-183. ISSN 0006-5943.
This research renovates previous works about the validity of the Fables Test (TF). Its originality lies on investigating indicators of somatization (IS) that are a new problem about TF. These indicators were studied in a group of 47 children, aged 4 to 14 years (16 with asthma, 21 with cancer, 10 healthy). Descriptive statistics and association tests were used. Fables of the Bird and the Elephant, whose stories provide an allusion to the body, appeared as highly sensitive to these indicators. The somatization analysis in contrasted groups suggests the validity of the TF. The study contributes to psychosomatic evidence-based knowledge. Despite the promising empirical evidence, there is a need for larger controlled studies with other groups of chronic disease
