| Popis: | In this chapter, a new approach to alexithymia is launched by the introduction of five alexithymia types, each being characterized by its own specific psychological makeup. This idea is inspired by the results of several studies, two of which will be discussed in greater detail. In the first study (Bloemendaal & Teijn, 1998; Bloemendaal, Teijn, & Moormann, 1999; Janssons 2004), the relation between alexithymia types and personality disorders has been explored among psychiatric patients. The other study (see Rood, 2003; and Moormann, Bermond, & Albach, 2004) concerns university psychology students and athletes. Here the relation between alexithymia types and personality traits has been investigated. The chapter concludes with a graphic representation of each alexithymia type with its corresponding personality profile (Fig. 3.1). The meaning of alexithymia types will be discussed with regard to both theoretical implications (the development of a biologically based personality theory) and practical implications (psychological health, stress resistance, psychotherapy, interpersonal relationships, vocational interests, and creativity). |
