- Authors
Jones, Dorothy M.
- Abstract
This essay seeks to contribute to the theoretical base guiding the treatment of alexithymia by highlighting the concepts of two scholars, psychologist Lev Vygotsky and psychoanalyst W.R. Bion. While their research was not directly concerned with alexithymia, their formulations, nonetheless, make a singular contribution to understanding its dynamics. The author demonstrates these concepts with clinical case material
