Internet Addiction
A Handbook and Guide to Evaluation and Treatment
"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." "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.

"…there is much to commend in this book because it presents an impressive range of current views of problematic Internet use and, in doing so, provides fascinating insight into human beings who, again and again, have been seduced by the siren call of new technologies that allow us to experience aspects of life in ways previously." (PsycCRITIQUES, May 2012)
Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide to Evaluation and Treatment "This book provides cutting-edge coverage by expanding the field to include specific problems such as online gaming, cybersex addiction, and gambling addiction. Its extensive attention to dealing with adolescents is essential, given the rapid rise in media and technology use by both Net Generation young adults and iGeneration teenagers. I am thrilled to have this invaluable, comprehensive, well-written resource for my own work and recommend it to people who need to understand this unique form of addiction." "Our clients come to us when online pornography, video gaming, social networking, gambling, and surfing create untenable disruptions in their lives.
