Alexithymia is a personality dimension that involves both cognitive deficits, including difficulties in recognizing, describing, and distinguishing feelings from bodily sensations of emotional arousal, and affective deficits, including difficulties in emotionalizing and fantasizing. Alexithymia has been the focus of considerable research. However, researchers have so far taken few steps to translate these insights into treatments and interventions. We call upon researchers to consider more systematically how basic research findings may be translated into tools for improving the fate of alexithymic individuals. To facilitate the translation process, we describe how alexithymia research on emotion, language, oxytocin, and neurofeedback may be converted into clinical interventions. With this outline, we hope to stimulate researchers to invest more in the development of evidence-based treatments for alexithymia, and to evaluate these treatments in terms of their effectiveness.
