Abstract
La alexitimia es un constructo psicológico que afecta a la forma en la que las personas
experimentan y expresan sus emociones. Asimismo, la alexitimia es factor de riesgo para el
desarrollo y/o mantenimiento de la AN y, por tanto, factor de pronóstico negativo en la
recuperación de esta psicopatología. Para comprender mejor esta relación se llevó a cabo una
revisión bibliográfica sistemática en las bases de datos MEDLINE y PsycInfo de los artículos
publicados en los últimos 15 años que tratan la prevalencia de la alexitimia o cómo esta influye
en el curso de la AN. Un total de 13 artículos fueron seleccionados y analizados según sus
características y variables estudiadas. Esta revisión encuentra elevada prevalencia de alexitimia
en la población con AN, que la alexitimia es predictora de la desregulación emocional y que
impacta negativamente en la sintomatología alimentaria. Finalmente, se incluye una posible
propuesta de intervención basada en la adaptación de un programa emergente que tiene unos
primeros resultados prometedores en el abordaje de la alexitimia en pacientes hospitalizados de
AN
Alexithymia is a psychological construct that affects the way in which people experience and express their emotions. Likewise, alexithymia is a risk factor for the development and/or maintenance of AN and, therefore, a negative prognostic factor in the recovery from this psychopathology. To better understand this relationship, a systematic literature review was conducted in the MEDLINE and PsycInfo databases of articles published in the last 15 years that address the prevalence of alexithymia or how it influences the course of AN. A total of 13 articles were selected and analyzed according to their characteristics and variables studied. This review finds high prevalence of alexithymia in the AN population, that alexithymia is a predictor of emotional dysregulation and that it negatively impacts eating symptomatology. Finally, a possible intervention proposal is included based on the adaptation of an emerging program that has promising initial results in addressing alexithymia in hospitalized patients with AN
