Problems of Psychotherapy of Patients with Alexithymic Characteristics and Physical Disease
Abstract
The principles which govern the kind of psychotherapy best suited for patients with physical disease who may or may not have alexithymic characteristics are based on the careful psychiatric evaluation of the patient’s psychological difficulties, and on the early cooperation between the psychiatrist and his medical colleagues. The nature of the alexithymic phenomena is discussed and the words ‘affect’, ‘emotion’ and ‘feeling’ are defined. Supportive psychotherapeutic measures are indicated for patients with alexithymic characteristics. These can be offered by the medical personnel in consultation with a psychiatrist. Psychodynamic psychotherapy, on he other hand, offered by a well-qualified psychiatrist is the treatment of choice for neurotic problems which complicate the patient’s physical illness.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
