Alexithymia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Understanding Alexithymia
The syndrome of extremely restricted emotional competence, alexithymia, was originally
conceptualized in psychoanalytic research and is now empirically and experimentally studied
in clinical psychology and psychological medicine within the context of emotion regulation
using neuroscientific techniques. Alexithymia refers to an individual's inability or
impaired ability to name or express feelings and to distinguish them from the physical
consequences of an acute or chronic stress reaction. Modern "brain-body-interface" research
suggests that alexithymia represents a complex deficiency in cognitive processing and
emotional regulatory processes. The neurobiological basis is assumed to be a preconscious,
automatic and involuntary information transfer to the amygdalae of acquired representations
of emotional contents stored in ventromedial prefrontal cortical areas.
Alexithymia is not just "emotional coldness", i.e. a limited emotionality, but essentially
the detachment of feelings from language. In alexithymia the link between affective
phenomena and language, understood as media-supported sign practices, is insufficient or
even absent.
The purpose of our observational study is to better understand the neurobiological and
neuropsychological as well as linguistic and gestural processes and determinants of this
phenomenon
