Alexithymia and anxiety sensitivity in panic disorder and obsessive- compulsive disorder
SB Zeitlin and RJ McNally
Department of Psychology, University of Toronto, Ont., Canada.
The authors compared scores on the Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the
Anxiety Sensitivity Index of 27 patients with panic disorder and 31
patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Results suggest that patients
with panic disorder constrict emotional experience, thereby reducing the
likelihood of their experiencing physiological symptoms that accompany
affect.
