PROBLEMS IN SPECIFYING ALEXITHYMIA: A REVIEW OF THE EMPIRICAL LITERATURE
Original language description
Alexithymia represents an interesting phenomenon, which ranks among border concepts of psychosomatic medicine. It can be understood as a border concept of psychosomatics, as there is no general consensus in its etiology. Objective: The review focuses on interpretation and specification of alexithymia. It classifies alexithymia into basic and more detailed groups derived from diagnostic questionnaire methods. From the view of etiology it concentrates on psychoanalytical, sociological, cognitive-neuropsychological and neurochemical interpretations. Methods: We used the mapping, analysis and review of the studies of alexithymia etiology from various perspectives. Results: In our opinion, the connection of the psychodynamic approach with the neuroscientific research is a crucial and bearing platform for further research in the area of alexithymia. Conclusions: We can pronounce that a complex platform where both important theories can meet has still not been found.
