With the internet, smartphones, and video games easily available to
increasing portions of society, researchers are becoming concerned
with the potential side effects and consequences of their
prevalence in people's daily lives. Many individuals are losing
control of their internet use, using it and other devices
excessively to the point that they negatively affect their
wellbeing as these individuals withdraw from social life and use
their devices to escape from the pressure of the real world. As
such, it is imperative to seek new methods and strategies for
identifying and treating individuals with digital addictions.
Multifaceted Approach to Digital Addiction and Its Treatment is an
essential research publication that explores the definition and
different types of digital addiction, including internet addiction,
smartphone addiction, and online gaming addition, and examines
overall treatment approaches while covering sample cases by
practitioners working with digital addiction. This book highlights
topics such as neuroscience, pharmacology, and psychodynamics. It
is ideal for psychologists, therapists, psychiatrists, counselors,
health professionals, students, educators, researchers, and
practitioners.

Now a Netflix Original Series! The Breakfast Club meets Leah on the
Offbeat in this story of female friendships that break all the
rules. The Shoplifters Anonymous meetings that sixteen-year-old Moe
is forced to attend are usually punctuated by the snores of an old
man and the whining of the world's unhappiest housewife. Until the
day that Tabitha Foster and Elodie Shaw walk in. Tabitha has just
about everything she wants: money, friends, popularity, a hot
boyfriend who worships her...and clearly a yen for stealing. So
does Elodie, who, despite her goodie-two-shoes attitude pretty much
has "klepto" written across her forehead in indelible marker. But
both of them are nothing compared to Moe, a bad girl with an even
worse reputation. Tabitha, Elodie, and Moe: a beauty queen, a
wallflower, and a burnout - a more unlikely trio high school has
rarely seen. And yet, when Tabitha challenges them to a steal-off,
so begins a strange alliance linked by the thrill of stealing and
the reasons that spawn it. Hollywood screenwriter Kirsten Smith
tells this story from multiple perspectives with humour and warmth
as three very different girls who are supposed to be learning the
steps to recovery end up learning the rules of friendship
