Alexithymia is a concept that describes the unability to put emotions into words ant that has been associated with somatization and psychosomatic disorders.
A sample of 124 outpatients attending the Psychosomatic Unit of a General Hospital was studied in order to test the hypothesis that alexithymic patients have a significantly lower verbal intelligence than nonalexithymics. Alexithymia was assessed by the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), and verbal, nonverbal and general intelligence were measured by the WAIS.
TAS scores were not related to medical and psychiatric diagnoses, and alexithymic patients (n: 53) showed not only significantly lower scores in verbal intelligence than undifferentiated subjects (n: 37) and nonalexithymics (n: 34) but also significantly lower scores in nonverbal and general intelligence.
The results do not confirm our hypothesis and are discussed in relation to theories that consider alexithymia as a consequence of cerebral asymmetry and interhemispheric dysfunctions.
述情障碍是一个描述无法用言语表达情感的概念，它与躯体化和身心障碍有关。
对一家综合医院身心科的124名门诊患者进行了抽样研究，以检验述情障碍患者的言语智力显著低于非述情障碍患者这一假设。通过多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS）评估述情障碍，通过韦氏成人智力量表（WAIS）测量言语、非言语和一般智力。
TAS得分与医学和精神科诊断无关，述情障碍患者（n = 53）不仅在言语智力方面的得分显著低于未分化受试者（n = 37）和非述情障碍患者（n = 34），而且在非言语和一般智力方面的得分也显著较低。
研究结果未证实我们的假设，并结合将述情障碍视为大脑不对称和半球间功能障碍结果的理论进行了讨论。
