Feeling and fantasy in eating disorders: a factor analysis of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale

Article Abstract:

Analysis of the development of alexithymia in patients with eating disorders and comparison with the non-eating disordered population using the Toronto Alexithymia Scale for 29 patients with restricted Anorexia nervosa (AN/R), 83 bulimic patients and 15 patients with anorexia with a subtype bulimia (AN/BN) shows lower ability to recognize their feelings in all three eating disorder groups as compared to the control group of 79 psychology students. Thus, treatment which concentrates on identifying and expressing feelings may be useful in the treatment of eating disorders.
