Abstract

The current thesis delivers a comprehensive account on the background, development and current status of alexithymia and emotional awareness. It provides a systematic overview, including a meta analysis, on how these phenomena relate to borderline personality pathology and explores relationships to other clinical variables. Furthermore, in this thesis we describe the development of a mHealth biofeedback app to support the treatment of alexithymia. To our knowledge, this app is one of the first in general and one of the very few to be at a stage of development ready for further research on clinical effectiveness, and broader dissemination and implementation in the foreseeable future.
