Abstract
Alexithymia, a deficit characterized by difficulties identifying, differentiating, and articulating emotions, is associated with significant physical and mental health impairment. It is generally accepted that alexithymia has a negative impact on a variety of physical and mental health treatments. Less clear is the extent to which alexithymia itself can be modified. In this article we review studies that have examined the effects of psychological interventions on alexithymia. Taken together, findings from investigations included in this review suggest that alexithymia is partly modifiable with therapeutic interventions. Studies that directly targeted alexithymic symptoms tended to report significant reductions in alexithymia scores following treatment, whereas studies that measured changes in alexithymia but did not employ any psychological interventions specifically intended to treat alexithymia had more inconsistent results. We close by considering the practical implications of the findings, and by offering suggestions for future research.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
