روشنایی اهمیت بالینی زیرگروه آلکسی تایمیا: تجزیه و تحلیل خوشه ای از صفات آلکسیتیمیا و علائم روانی

The results of this study support the hypothesis of alexithymia subtypes, and add support to the growing evidence showing that alexithymia is likely a heterogeneous and dimensional phenomenon. The subtype (type B) with most pronounced difficulties in identifying feelings may be associated with a higher risk for psychiatric illness compared to type A alexithymia, and may exhibit a more severe history of early life adversity.
