Obsessive-compulsive dynamics of eating disorders. Transactional-analytical approach

The article presents the results of a theoretical correlation of transactional-analytical models of emotional literacy by K. Steiner, obsessive-compulsive personality dynamics by A. Golovan and the mechanisms of formation of eating disorders. The results of an empirical study of the relationship between the severity of obsessive-compulsive personality dynamics and the presence of eating disorders are also described. Obsessive-compulsive dynamics is operationalized through indicators of the level of anxiety, alexithymia and emotional literacy. The results of a correlation analysis of the relationship between indicators of alexithymia according to the Toronto TAS-20 scale, which expresses a deficit in cognitive processing and regulation of emotions, and indicators of the level of emotional literacy according to the C. Steiner Emotional Awareness Scale, are presented.
