Alexithymia refers to the deficits in identifying and describing the felt emotions, and an externally oriented thinking style which has been identified as a personality trait present significantly more in patients of a range of psychiatric disorders. Alexithymia has been recorded to play a pivotal role in the outcome of psychotherapeutic interventions. The present paper reports the efficacy of incorporating specific interventions for alexithymia as adjunct to the cognitive behavior therapy for depression across genders using six case studies. The cases were assessed for their levels of depression and alexithymia using Beck Depression Inventory –II and Toronto Alexithymia Scale, respectively, in a pre-post research design. The paper highlights the significance of the role of alexithymia treatment as an integral component of cognitive behavior therapy for enhanced therapeutic outcome.
