The results of a 2013 systematic review on focusing on alexithymia during treatment were inconclusive.
“Recent studies found that specifically focusing on alexithymia during treatment improved treatment outcomes in terms of symptom reduction and general functioning (5–9), but the results of a 2013 systematic review (10) were inconclusive, and was suggested that development of evidence-based treatments are necessary (10).”
From Alexithymia has no clinically relevant association with outcome of multimodal treatment tailored to needs of patients suffering from somatic symptom and related disorders. A clinical prospective study (2018) · cites this paper as [10]
The Conclusions and outlook section calls for evidence-based treatments for alexithymia and evaluation of their effectiveness. But the paper describes its discussion as “selective rather than exhaustive”; it does not report inconclusive results from a systematic review of focusing on alexithymia during treatment.

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.
