We examined changes in alexithymia over a period of psychiatric treatment. Scores on a measure of alexithymia construct (affect awareness but not externally oriented thinking) decreased significantly after psychiatric treatment, suggesting that alexithymia or affect awareness for patients with psychiatric disorders or psychosocial problems is a state reaction rather than a personality trait. As for an association of reactions to stress with alexithymia, a group on high extrapunitiveness demonstrated significant decrease in scores on affect awareness compared to a group on low extrapunitiveness both before and after psychiatric treatment.
我们研究了在一段精神治疗期间述情障碍的变化。述情障碍结构测量（情感意识而非外向性思维）得分在精神治疗后显著下降，这表明患有精神障碍或心理社会问题的患者的述情障碍或情感意识是一种状态反应而非人格特质。至于应激反应与述情障碍的关联，在精神治疗前后，高外罚性组的情感意识得分相比低外罚性组均显著下降。
