The main purpose of this study was to examine
self-esteem, anger and eating attitude with alexithymia in people who consult
to the psychological counseling center. The sample of the study consist of 100
women who were located in Istanbul and applied to the psychological consulting
center. 

Methods: Consent form, demographic form, State-Trait Anger

Scale and Eating Attitude Test have been used to collect the data in this
study. In this research, the relationship between sociodemographic features, alexithymia,
self-esteem, anger, eating attitude of women who consult to the psychological
counseling center had been examined. Data obtained have been analyzed
statistically by using SPSS 15.0 for Windows. 

Results: The findings of
this research supported our hypothesizes. Regarding the relationship between
eating attitude and alexithymia, there is a positive relationship between
difficulties in identifying and describing feelings with eating attitudes (p < 0.05). Regarding the relationship
between alexithymia and self-esteem, there is a positive relation between
sub-dimensions of alexithymia scale with subscales of self-esteem (p < 0.05). There is a positive relationship
between identifying feelings with trait anger and anger-out scores (p < 0.05). 

Conclusions: According to
these results, it appears that alexithymia has a serious relationship with
anger, eating attitude and self-esteem. We suggest that alexithymia may be at
the center of other features relations with each other.
