Social Contribution

Hello! I really enjoyed reading your chapter regarding Alexithymia. I've just done my chapter on the dark triad and part of that was the impact of Alexithymia. There is a lot of interesting research in that area that you might be interested in so I have attached some references for your own intrinsic interest :)
