Alexithymia represents a disturbance in affective and cognitive function which overlaps diagnostic categories. Emotions are not differential, and are poor verbalized. Imagination related to drive fulfillment is limited. These and other problems seriously interfere with the patients' capacity to benefit from dynamic, uncovering or "anxiety-producing" psychotherapy. In order to consider possible remediation of the problem, we must explore the nature and causes of this disturbance.
述情障碍表现为情感和认知功能的紊乱，它跨越了不同的诊断类别。情感缺乏分化，且言语表达能力差。与驱力满足相关的想象力有限。这些问题以及其他问题严重干扰了患者从动力性、揭示性或“引发焦虑”的心理治疗中获益的能力。为了考虑该问题可能的补救措施，我们必须探究这种紊乱的本质和成因。
