Alexithymia in the eating disorders

Abstract

Eating disorder patients appear to have high degrees of alexithymia, a diminished capability to verbally describe feelings, although little data exist. We administered the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) to 114 females with DSM-III-R defined eating disorders. Patients, regardless of subtype, scored significantly higher than 370 college-aged females. TAS scores were significantly correlated to self-ratings of affective symptoms, but not weight or binge-purge frequency.
