Implications of a Constructionist Model of Emotional Experience for the Theory and Practice of Psychoanalysis and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
Emotional experience may play a more central role in the origin and treatment of psychopathology than has been previously recognized. A constructionist model of emotional experience holds that in addition to defenses, affective bodily responses may not be experienced as specific emotions because they haven’t been conceptualized or mentally represented as such. It is argued that emotional experience is the core feature of three critical steps in t…
The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (Leas)
Emotional awareness (EA) is a valuable cognitive skill relevant to understanding human behavior and social relationships. The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS) was developed in 1990 and has been utilized extensively in research to measure individuals' EA. However, there is no published normative information on this instrument in a U.S. sample. We report normative LEAS data (n = 381, M age = 42.71, 51% females, 85.30 % White) for demograp…
Emotional Awareness Is Correlated With Ambulatory Heart Rate Variability
OBJECTIVE: In healthy volunteers, a positive association has previously been observed between emotional awareness (EA), the ability to identify and describe emotional experiences in oneself and others, and resting heart rate variability (HRV), which is dominated by vagus nerve activity. The current study aimed to investigate the EA-HRV association across multiple assessments in a "real-world" ambulatory context in patients with long QT syndrome (…
Unconscious Activation of Negative Emotional Memories Increases Pain Unpleasantness
OBJECTIVE: The influence of unconscious emotional processes on pain remains poorly understood. The present study tested whether cues to forgotten unpleasant images might amplify pain (i.e., in the absence of conscious recall). METHODS: Seventy-two healthy female adults (19 to 34 years) performed an adapted Think/No-think paradigm (T/NT) using 72 combinations of neutral face images (cues) paired with 36 neutral and 36 unpleasant images. After comp…
Impaired emotional awareness is associated with childhood maltreatment exposure and positive symptoms in schizophrenia
These data suggest that emotional awareness impairments observed in schizophrenia may be exacerbated by exposure to childhood maltreatment, possibly putting individuals at greater risk for experiencing positive symptoms of psychosis
Emotional awareness amplifies affective sensitivity to social support for women with breast cancer
Emotional awareness (EA) is thought to facilitate psychological health by aiding emotion regulation in oneself and garnering social support from others. This study tested these potential relationships within a one-year longitudinal study of 460 women (age 23-91 years, mean 56.4 years) recently diagnosed with breast cancer (i.e., within four months). The women completed measures of emotional awareness, social support, social stress, affective symp…
Improvements in mindfulness, interoceptive and emotional awareness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal emotion management following completion of an online emotional skills training program
Socioemotional skills, such as the ability to recognize, understand, and regulate the emotions of self and others, are associated with both physical and emotional health. The present study tested the effectiveness of a recently validated online training program for increasing these emotional skills in adults. In this study, 448 participants (323 female) were randomly assigned to complete this training program or a placebo control program. Among t…
Development and validation of a computer program for measuring emotional awareness in German—The geLeas (German electronic Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale)
An automated method for evaluating emotional awareness greatly expands the ability to study emotional awareness in clinical care and research. This study aims to advance the use of emotional awareness as a clinical and scientific parameter

Alexithymia 3.0
Background Although alexithymia research has greatly expanded in recent decades, our ability to treat it clinically remains limited. This article provides a new perspective on why that may be true and offers a fresh approach to clinical intervention. Summary The recent distinction between the agnosia and anomia subtypes of alexithymia, coupled with the introduction of the three-process model of emotional awareness (consisting of affective respons…
Affective agnosia
Affective agnosia, an impairment in knowing how one feels emotionally, has been described as an extreme deficit in the experience and expression of emotion that may confer heightened risk for adverse medical outcomes. Alexithymia, by contrast, has been proposed as an over-arching construct that includes a spectrum of deficits of varying severity, including affective agnosia at the more severe end. This perspective has been challenged by Taylor an…
The importance of identifying underlying process abnormalities in alexithymia
An Embodied Neurocomputational Framework for Organically Integrating Biopsychosocial Processes
OBJECTIVE: Two distinct perspectives-typically referred to as the biopsychosocial and biomedical models-currently guide clinical practice. Although the role of psychosocial factors in contributing to physical and mental health outcomes is widely recognized, the biomedical model remains dominant. This is due in part to (a) the largely nonmechanistic focus of biopsychosocial research and (b) the lack of specificity it currently offers in guiding cl…
Higher Emotional Awareness Is Associated With Reduced Pain in Irritable Bowel Syndrome Patients
This inverse relationship between emotional awareness and both pain and somatization symptoms is consistent with evidence that irritable bowel syndrome patients experience reduced pain from therapies designed to improve emotional awareness. The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale could potentially be used to identify patients who could benefit from such therapy and could potentially be a moderator of response to efficacious psychological therapie…
Interoception and Mental Health
Interoception refers to the process by which the nervous system senses, interprets, and integrates signals originating from within the body, providing a moment-by-moment mapping of the body's internal landscape across conscious and unconscious levels. Interoceptive signaling has been considered a component process of reflexes, urges, feelings, drives, adaptive responses, and cognitive and emotional experiences, highlighting its contributions to t…
Greater cortical thickness within the limbic visceromotor network predicts higher levels of trait emotional awareness
Biased Competition Favoring Physical Over Emotional Pain
BACKGROUND: Early adversity predisposes to chronic pain, but a mechanistic explanation is lacking. Survivors of early adversity with chronic pain often seem impaired in their ability to be aware of, understand, and express distressing emotions such as anger and fear in social contexts. In this context, it has been proposed that pain may at times serve as a "psychic regulator" by preventing awareness of more intolerable emotions. METHOD: This narr…
Vagal Mediation of Low-Frequency Heart Rate Variability During Slow Yogic Breathing
OBJECTIVE: Changes in heart rate variability (HRV) associated with breathing (respiratory sinus arrhythmia) are known to be parasympathetically (vagally) mediated when the breathing rate is within the typical frequency range (9-24 breaths per minute [bpm]; high-frequency HRV). Slow yogic breathing occurs at rates below this range and increases low-frequency HRV power, which may additionally reflect a significant sympathetic component. Yogic breat…

Introduction to the Special Issue of Psychosomatic Medicine
Mechanisms Underlying the Association Between Early-Life Adversity and Physical Health
Early-life adversities (ELA) are associated with subsequent pervasive alterations across a wide range of neurobiological systems and psychosocial factors that contribute to accelerated onset of health problems and diseases. In this article, we provide an integrated perspective on recent developments in research on ELA, based on the articles published in this Special Issue of Psychosomatic Medicine . We focus on the following: 1) the distinction b…

Partial Amelioration of Medial Visceromotor Network Dysfunction in Major Depression by Sertraline
OBJECTIVES: Major depression is associated with reduced cardiac vagal control, most commonly indexed by heart rate variability. To examine the dynamics of this abnormality, we examined within-participant covariation over time between brain activity, cardiac vagal control, and depressive symptoms in depressed patients treated with sertraline and in healthy volunteers. METHODS: Patients with depression and nondepressed control participants were enr…

Levels of emotional awareness
The need to establish the efficacy of psychoanalytic long-term treatments has promoted efforts to operationalize psychic structure and structural change as key elements of psychoanalytic treatments and their outcomes. Current, promising measures of structural change, however, require extensive interviews and rater training. The purpose of this paper is to present the theory and measurement of Levels of Emotional Awareness (LEA) and to illustrate …
Age Differences in Descriptions of Emotional Experiences in Oneself and Others
We analyzed language use to examine age differences in people's representations of their own emotions as compared with those of others. Participants (N = 365, aged 18-85 years, M = 42.8, SD = 19.2) read hypothetical emotion-eliciting scenarios and described how they themselves and the social partners involved in the scenarios would feel. Compared with those of younger adults, older adults' descriptions involved a higher frequency of positive and …

Induction of lateralized sympathetic input to the heart by the CNS during emotional arousal
A neurophysiologic mechanism for stress-induced cardiac arrhythmias is proposed based on the integration of two bodies of research that have until now developed independently: the role of hemispheric specialization in the mediation of emotional arousal and the role of a lateralized imbalance in sympathetic input to the heart in cardiac arrhythmogenesis. The specific hypothesis is that individuals who manifest more lateralized frontal lobe activit…
The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale
The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS) is based on a new cognitive-developmental model of emotional experience. The scale poses evocative interpersonal situations and elicits descriptions of the emotional responses of self and others which are scored using specific structural criteria. Forty undergraduates (20 of each sex) were tested. Interrater reliability and intratest homogeneity of the LEAS were strong. The LEAS was significantly cor…
Impaired Verbal and Nonverbal Emotion Recognition in Alexithymia
Although clinical observations suggest that alexithymic individuals have a deficit in their ability to recognize emotional stimuli and that this deficit is not simply due to a problem in verbal labeling, these two hypotheses have not been empirically confirmed. Three hundred eighty participants in a community survey without current or past histories of psychiatric disorder completed two independent measures of alexithymia [the Levels of Emotional…

Sex Differences in Emotional Awareness
The present study examined sex differences in the complexity and differentiation of people’s representations of emotional experience. Female participants from seven different samples, ranging in age, scholastic performance, socioeconomic status, and culture, scored higher on a performance test of emotional awareness than did male participants. Women consistently displayed more complexity and dif ferentiation in their articulations of emotional ex…
Pervasive Emotion Recognition Deficit Common to Alexithymia and the Repressive Coping Style
OBJECTIVE: Previous research has demonstrated a deficit in the ability to recognize emotions in alexithymic individuals. The repressive coping style is thought to preferentially impair the detection of unpleasant compared with pleasant emotions, and the degree of deficit is typically thought to be less severe than in alexithymia. We compared emotion recognition ability in both individuals with alexithymia and those with the repressive coping styl…

Psychological Stress Preceding Idiopathic Ventricular Fibrillation
Objective: Emotional stress is well established as a trigger of sudden death in the context of coronary heart disease (CHD), but its role in patients experiencing cardiac arrest with apparently normal hearts is unknown. This study sought to determine the role of psychosocial stress as a precipitant of cardiac arrest in patients with apparently normal hearts, so-called idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF). Methods: We interviewed 25 IVF survi…
Emotional Awareness Deficits in Inpatients of a Psychosomatic Ward
OBJECTIVE: The TAS 20 has demonstrated strong psychometric properties in a broad variety of studies in healthy populations. Much less work has been done in clinical contexts exploring the validity of the TAS 20 as a measure of the cognitive processing of emotions. The TAS 20, a self-report scale, tends to correlate with self-reported negative affect, but in a clinical context it is important to be able to differentiate between negative affect and…

Neural Correlates of Levels of Emotional Awareness During Trauma Script-Imagery in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
Objective: To examine individual differences in levels of emotional awareness as a predictor of the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) response to trauma script-driven imagery in trauma-exposed individuals with (n = 25) and without (n = 16) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods: Participants completed the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS) and a functional magnetic resonance imaging trauma script-driven imagery paradigm. Res…
Neural Substrates of Implicit and Explicit Emotional Processes
There are two broad themes in psychosomatic medicine research that relate emotions to physical disease outcomes. Theme 1 holds that self-reported negative affect has deleterious effects and self-reported positive affect has salubrious effects on health. Theme 2 holds that interference with the experience or expression of negative affect has adverse health consequences. From the perspective of self-report these two traditions appear contradictory.…

The Rebirth of Neuroscience in Psychosomatic Medicine, Part I
Neuroscience was an integral part of psychosomatic medicine at its inception in the early 20th century. Since the mid-20th century, however, psychosomatic research has largely ignored the brain. The field of neuroscience has burgeoned in recent years largely because a variety of powerful new methods have become available. Many of these methods allow for the noninvasive study of the living human brain and thus are potentially available for integra…
The Rebirth of Neuroscience in Psychosomatic Medicine, Part II
During the second half of the last century, biopsychosocial research in psychosomatic medicine largely ignored the brain. Neuroscience has started to make a comeback in psychosomatic medicine research and promises to advance the field in important ways. In this paper we briefly review select brain imaging research findings in psychosomatic medicine in four key areas: cardiovascular regulation, visceral pain in the context of functional gastrointe…
Theory of Mind and Emotional Awareness Deficits in Patients With Somatoform Disorders
OBJECTIVE: To explore whether deficits are present in the mental representation of emotion signals and whether these are related to more general deficits in Theory of Mind (ToM) functioning test. To test this hypothesis in patients suffering from somatoform disorders, we used the Frith-Happé-Animations Task (AT)-an established ToM measure. We previously demonstrated that somatization in psychiatric patients is associated with decreased emotional …
The reliability and validity of the Japanese version of the Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (Leas-J)
BACKGROUND: The Levels of Emotional Awareness Scale (LEAS) was developed to assess five levels of emotional awareness: bodily sensations, action tendencies, single emotions, blends of emotion, and combinations of blends. It is a paper and pencil performance questionnaire that presents 20 emotion-evoking scenes. We developed a Japanese version of the LEAS (LEAS-J), and its reliability and validity were examined. METHODS: The LEAS-J level was indep…
Cardiovascular-Emotional Dampening
Objective: Persons with elevated blood pressure (BP) show dampened emotional responses to affect-laden stimuli. We sought to further examine cardiovascular-emotional dampening by examination of the relationship between resting hemodynamic measures and recognition of emotion in an African American community-based sample. Methods: Participants were 106 African American men and women (55 women; mean age = 52.8 years), mainly low in socioeconomic sta…
Differentiation in the Momentary Rating of Somatic Symptoms Covaries With Trait Emotional Awareness in Patients at Risk for Sudden Cardiac Death
OBJECTIVES: Somatic symptom ratings covary with neuroticism. Yet, people vary from one another in their ability to report their own emotions and differentiate them from bodily sensations. We hypothesized that stressed individuals with greater emotional awareness would experience somatic symptoms in a more differentiated way independent of neuroticism. METHODS: Over 3 days, ecological momentary assessments were completed in 161 patients (72.6% fem…
Changes in Ventricular Repolarization Duration During Typical Daily Emotion in Patients With Long QT Syndrome
OBJECTIVE: Intense emotions are known triggers of sudden cardiac death. However, the effect of typical daily emotion on repolarization has not been examined. We examined whether QT interval changes as a function of typical daily emotion in patients at risk for cardiac events in the context of emotion. METHODS: We studied 161 patients (n = 114 females; mean age, 35 years) with the congenital form of the Long QT Syndrome during daily activities. Ea…
