Product Description

Review

"Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide to Evaluation and Treatment provides an integrated and current overview of the different types of Internet addiction—gaming addiction, gambling addiction and cybersex addiction. The authors deserve ample praise in providing such a comprehensive and informative guide for the treatment of Internet addiction."
—Ran Tao, MD, Professor and Director, and Xiuqin Huang, MD, Associate Professor, Treatment Center for Internet Addiction, General Hospital of Beijing Military Region, China

"This useful book pulls together the most recent research about Internet Addiction: what it is, how it develops and how it can be treated. Internet Addiction Disorder, a disorder being considered for inclusion in the DSM–V, is the newest and fastest growing addiction of the 21st century. Porn, video gaming, social networking, gambling, surfing: our clients come to us with these problems, and if we do not understand what we are seeing and how to address it, many clients may fail to get the help they need. This book provides enough practical information that clinicians will feel much better prepared to assess for and treat this growing problem.
—Hilarie Cash, PhD, author of Video Games and Your Kids: How Parents Stay in Control (2008) and co–founder of reSTART: Internet Addiction Recovery Program (2009)

Product Description

Internet addiction is an emergent disorder in the psychiatric and psychological fields. This book provides a theoretical framework to understand how to define and conceptualize compulsive use of the Internet from a clinical perspective. With various theoretical models from the psychiatric, psychological, communication, and sociological fields, it explores the prevalence of the disorder and the most addictive or problematic online applications, such as online pornography, Internet gambling, and online games. Evidenced–based treatment approaches are provided as well. A must–have for every clinician.

Hits it right on the head! 25 May 2012

By Eric J. Nivala - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book has helped me in many ways to deal with my internet addiction and the patterns of behavior I fall into. I use it at a reference and highly recommend it to others. Internet addiction as a disease is still in it's infancy as far as the amount that has been written on the subject and hopefully people will begin to take it as seriously as drug and alcohol addiction. Addiction is addiction that just manifests itself in different ways in different people.
