Alexithymia

Alexithymia is a disorder characterized by cognitive-emotional deficits including:

• problems identifying, describing, and working with one's own feelings, often marked by a lack of understanding of the feelings of others;
• confusion of physical sensations often associated with emotions with those emotions;
• few dreams or fantasies due to restricted imagination; and
• concrete, realistic, logical thinking, often to the exclusion of emotional responses to problems.
