“…Our findings point to a similar age and duration of dependence in alcoholic patients with and without alexithy mia which may support the viewpoint that alexithymia in alcoholics is not a consequence of the dependence [4,7], On the contrary, alex ithymia may predispose to heavy drinking and to the development of dependence [20].…”

“…The recent psychometric construct of alexithymia according to the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) includes the following features: difficul ty in identifying and describing feelings, diffi culty in distinguishing between feelings and the bodily sensations that accompany emo tional arousal, constricted imaginai processes, and a cognitive style characterized by a preoc cupation with the details of external events [2,3], In our previous paper, using the SchallingSifneos Personality Scale for assessing alexi thymia, we found persons with alexithym ie personality traits highly overrepresented among male alcoholic patients [4], Such a find ing was confirmed by two other groups of investigators [5,6], We also suggested that two predisposing factors to alcohol dependence such as family history of alcoholism and alexi thymie personality might determine different clinical features of the disease [7], Commenting on the outcome of alcohol dependence, Goodwin [8] pointed out that there is no compelling evidence that treat ment of this condition is superior to no treat ment, but patient's characteristics rather than treatment seem to be the most important pre dictor of outcome. Other studies have shown that alcoholic patients with severe psychiatric problems did poorly regardless of the type of treatment they received, whereas those with less severe psychiatric problems improved in many types of treatment programs [9,10].…”

“…Factor 2 (F2) consists of five items (items 2, 4, 11, 12, 17) assessing the ability to describe feelings to other people. Factor 3 (F3) consists of eight items (items 5,8,10,15,16,18,19,20) assessing externally oriented thinking. The total scores of the TAS-20 were dichotomized as a score of Ն61, which indicated alexithymia, and a score of <61, which indicated no alexithymia.…”

“…4,5 This prevalence rate among alcoholic patients has been reported to range from 42% to 79% in several studies. 3,[5][6][7][8][9] The prevalence rate was not different in Turkish alcohol-dependent men (48-56%). [10][11][12] Studies on this issue suggested that alexithymic features may negatively affect the long-term alcoholism treatment outcomes and that they may also predict alcohol use.…”
