atimia: indifferenza affettiva/mancanza di risonanza affettiva a qualsiasi stimolo
Flat affect: A severe reduction in emotional expressiveness. People with depression and schizophrenia often show flat affect. A person with schizophrenia may not show the signs of normal emotion, perhaps may speak in a monotonous voice, have diminished facial expressions, and appear extremely apathetic. Also known as blunted affect

Blunted affect is the scientific term describing a lack of emotional reactivity on the part of an individual. The precise boundary between the generally positive personality trait "serious" and the generally pathological "blunted affect" is impossible to describe precisely because it is culture specific and relies on subjective values. For example, the Japanese are often described as "unemotional" (even to the point of "blunted in affect") by Americans, and so the same individual may be considered to display a blunted affect in one culture and be merely "serious" or "unemotional" in another. See culture-specific syndrome.

45 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +4 appiattimento dell'affettività
Explanation:
Ti rimando a questo articolo di wikipedia che descrive il "blunted affect" e il "flat affect":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blunted_affect
"Blunted" is affect that is present but only with minimal degrees of emotions evident." [...] "flat: affect is even less intense than blunted; patient may appear inanimate".
O anche, da http://www.abess.com/glossary.html
"flat affect - An affect type that indicates the absence of signs of affective expression."
Il termine si trova spesso in testi che parlano di schizofrenia. Per quanto riguarda l'italiano vedi per esempio http://psicoterapiasiena.blogspot.com/2008/04/affettivita.ht... :
"appiattimento dell'affettività: assenza, o quasi, di qualsiasi segno di espressione affettiva; voce monotona, faccia immobile"
E' una espressione che trovi anche in molti altri documenti su google ( http://www.google.it/search?hl=it&q="appiattimento dell'affe... )

--------------------------------------------------
Aggiungo solo che l'espressione è riportata anche in questa tesi in traduzione http://www.openstarts.units.it/dspace/bitstream/10077/2002/1... :
"Equivalence it-en: Tra i termini "appiattimento dell'affettività" e "flat affect" esiste piena identità concettuale."

E aggiungo di nuovo, che ancora più frequente è l'espressione:
***appiattimento affettivo***
