Reviews
From the reviews:
“Timoney and Holder have succeeded in including a substantial amount of research on alexithymia and squeezing it into their book … . The strength of the book is that it cites a large number of studies on different topics in the alexithymia literature. Indeed, each chapter, and section within each chapter, is largely a litany of research studies. … is best suited to the scholar or student who is interested in alexithymia and seeking a quick and accessible review of any given topic … .” (Mark A. Lumley and Matthew J. Jasinski, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (4), January, 2014)Authors and Affiliations
