|
Alexithymia is a disorder characterized by cognitive-emotional deficits including:
- problems identifying, describing, and working with one's own feelings, often marked by a lack of understanding of the feelings of others;
- confusion of physical sensations often associated with emotions with those emotions;
- few dreams or fantasies due to restricted imagination; and
- concrete, realistic, logical thinking, often to the exclusion of emotional responses to problems.
