Psychological Treatments for Alexithymia: A Systematic Review
Overview
This systematic review synthesizes findings from 18 randomized controlled trials published between 2010 and 2024 regarding psychological treatments for alexithymia, focusing on interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy variants. The resource is intended for researchers or clinicians seeking an overview of current evidence, noting that while most included interventions significantly reduced symptoms, high heterogeneity among studies prevents definitive conclusions about standardized protocols.
