Resumen

El creciente desarrollo de la psicofisiología exige metodologías cada vez más asequibles para su utilización en el ámbito clínico. Este trabajo presenta la elaboración de una batería de evaluación psicofisiológica exploratoria (el Perfil de Estrés) adaptada a las características del quehacer clínico, que permite la evaluación del componente psicofisiológico de una forma relativamente sencilla. La utilización del análisis factorial para el análisis de los registros posibilita la obtención de perfiles o patrones psicofisiológicos basados en la covariación entre respuestas psicofisiológicas pertenecientes a diversos sistemas. Los factores identificados muestran patrones de activación relevantes, que ofrecen una visión global del funcionamiento psicofisiológico de la muestra evaluada, y pueden considerarse datos normativos de la población de referencia
