The observations that led to the creation of the concept of alexithymia were originally conducted on patients suffering from classic psychosomatic illnesses. However, the latest research has displaced the idea of an exclusive link between alexithymia and psychosomatic illness, due to findings which indicate that subjects with a wide variety of psychiatric disorders can also present alexithymic characteristics. This paper reviews research in the eating disorders field which points to a relationship between psychological deficits and alexithymic traits in anorexia nervosa and bulimia.
导致述情障碍概念产生的观察最初是在患有典型身心疾病的患者身上进行的。然而，最新研究已经推翻了述情障碍与身心疾病之间存在唯一联系的观点，因为研究结果表明，患有各种精神疾病的受试者也可能表现出述情障碍的特征。本文回顾了饮食失调领域的研究，这些研究指出了神经性厌食症和贪食症中心理缺陷与述情障碍特征之间的关系。
