Graeme J. Taylor
Researcher associated with TAS-20 and affect-regulation literature.
Why Taylor appears on AAN
Graeme J. Taylor is important to AAN’s alexithymia source trail because his name appears on two recurring reference points:
- the 1997 book Disorders of Affect Regulation: Alexithymia in Medical and Psychiatric Illness, co-authored with R. Michael Bagby and James D. A. Parker (Taylor, Bagby, and Parker, 1997);
- the 1994 TAS-20 development paper, co-authored with R. Michael Bagby and James D. A. Parker (Bagby, Parker, and Taylor, 1994).
The relevant point for readers is historical and bibliographic: Taylor’s work is part of the published literature around alexithymia assessment, especially the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20), and the affect-regulation framing used in alexithymia research.
TAS-20 context
The TAS-20 is a self-report measurement instrument used in alexithymia research. AAN describes it as a screening or research measure, not as a diagnosis by itself. Scores should be interpreted carefully, especially outside research settings or without professional context.
Do not infer

Do not infer diagnosis or treatment from a TAS-20 score. Bring personal assessment or treatment questions to a qualified clinician.
