La DES-T es una versión modificada de la Escala de Experiencias Disociativas compuesta de ocho ítems que miden específicamente disociación patológica: desrealización, despersonalización y alteración de la identidad. El presente trabajo tuvo como propósito analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la DES-T y examinar si la pertenencia al taxón disociativo indica realmente una disociación patológica, es decir, si estar en el taxón es sinónimo de tener un trastorno disociativo. La muestra del estudio fue de 341 participantes. Los resultados reflejaron que la DES-T tiene una consistencia interna aceptable (α = .87; w = .88) y una estructura unidimensional con un buen ajuste. Los ocho ítems de la escala cumplieron con los criterios de discriminación. Se encontró que las personas con trastornos disociativos obtuvieron puntuaciones significativamente más altas en la DES-T que las personas con otros trastornos de salud mental. Estos resultados preliminares sugieren que la DES-T es un instrumento confiable y valido para medir la frecuencia de disociación patológica. No obstante, se concluye que estar en el taxón disociativo indica una mayor frecuencia de experiencias disociativas, pero no indica necesaria o categóricamente la presencia de un trastorno disociativo.
