Why haven I heard of alexithymia before?
Alexithymia has not been well publicized. Most clinical professionalsfamily doctors, psychologists and psychiatristsknow little or nothing about alexithymia. Some take a disparaging view, arguing that the construct is poorly defined, doctrine-dependent or of no practical use in psychiatry. Nevertheless, hundreds of articles have been published in the specialist medical journals. There have been occasional mentions of the construct in popular science books (for example Daniel Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence, or Rita Carter’s Mapping the Mind).
