Interesting study

Shrink Rap has shared an interesting study that asks the question “Is childhood sexual abuse linked to an inability to express emotions in adulthood?”

“Alexithymia, a clinical condition typified by a reported inability to identify or describe one’s emotions, is associated with various forms of psychopathology, including depression. Highly alexithymic (HA) outpatients are more likely to be female, less likely to have children and are characterized by more somatic-affective symptoms of depression and interpersonal aloofness.”  Shrink Rap, Oct. 27, 09
