We explored emotional awareness in substance-dependent patients and its relationships to self-reported alexithymia. Sixty-four outpatients with drug dependence or alcohol dependence were evaluated before the beginning of treatment with the Hamilton Depressive Scale and the Covi Anxiety Scale, and they completed the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS). Subjects exhibited low levels of emotional awareness and TAS-20 scores were high. Both measures were not related to depressive and anxious symptomatology. This research is the first to provide LEAS results with substance-dependent patients and highlights their deficits in emotions' differentiation and complexity. The lack of a relationship between LEAS and TAS-20 is discussed from the methodological and theoretical points of view.
我们探讨了物质依赖患者的情绪意识及其与自我报告的述情障碍的关系。64 名药物或酒精依赖的门诊患者在开始治疗前接受了汉密尔顿抑郁量表和科维焦虑量表的评估，并完成了多伦多述情障碍量表（TAS-20）和情绪意识水平量表（LEAS）。结果显示，患者的情绪意识水平较低，TAS-20 评分较高。这两个指标与抑郁和焦虑症状均无相关性。这是首次为物质依赖患者提供 LEAS 结果，突出了他们在情绪区分和复杂性方面的缺陷。从方法学和理论角度讨论了 LEAS 和 TAS-20 之间缺乏关系的原因。
