摘要
The authors present a meta-analysis investigating the prevalence of alexithymia in 12 studies encompassing 1, 095 individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A large effect size was found associating PTSD with alexithymia. Effect sizes were higher in studies of male combat PTSD samples in comparison with studies of other PTSD samples. Clinical and research directions are discussed.
