摘要：

The prevalence of alexithymia in fifty-five motor vehicle accident survivors who had chronic pain complaints and met DSM-III-R criteria for somatoform pain disorder was 53%. Alexithymic and non-alexithymic patients did not differ on self-reports of current pain severity or in the number of pain locations. Alexithymic patients were found to use significantly more words to describe their pain, suggesting they may have a more diffuse style in communicating their pain experience.
