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.
