Abstract：
:Alexithymia is common in patients with a substance use disorder (SUD) and is possibly a negative prognostic factor in their treatment. The aim of this study was twofold. First, we explored whether SUD patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are more alexithymic than SUD patients without PTSD. Next, we explored whether trait and state-related parts of alexithymia could be differentiated in these patients. This phenomenon was studied in 197 SUD patients with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20); Clinician Administered PTSD Scale; Self-Report Inventory for PTSD; Traumatic Experiences Checklist; European Addiction Severity Index; and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale in a cross-sectional design. SUD patients with current PTSD showed more alexithymic characteristics than patients without PTSD or with previous lifetime/not current PTSD. The severity of PTSD complaints; alcohol addiction; and the combination of depression, anxiety and stress symptoms, all of which are more related to alexithymia as a state, explained 38.1% of the TAS-20. In conclusion, we advise that SUD patients be assessed for alexithymia and that its degree is taken into account. We also tentatively assume that a considerable part of alexithymia is more state- than trait-related in these patients.
