Core Tip	This study showed that the type of family in which a child grows up and parental disapproval in childhood affected the child’s self-esteem and led to alexithymic personality traits. The child’s self-esteem partially mediated the relationship between parental disapproval and alexithymia. Family type was also important for alexithymia. A chaotic family type had a positive effect on alexithymia and a negative effect on the self-esteem variable, whereas the approving and perfect family types had a negative effect on alexithymia and a positive effect on self-esteem and protected the child in terms of alexithymic personality traits.
