Authored by a sex therapist who regularly works with clients
wanting to improve their relationships, this book explains how
technology can create conflict or additional anxiety and discloses
techniques to help individuals gain confidence or strengthen their
personal relationships. The statistics are telling: 85 percent of
all adults use the Internet; 88 percent use email; 91 percent own
cell phones; 56 percent own smartphones; 73 percent send and
receive text messages; and 67 percent use social networking sites.
The advent of personal communication devices and ubiquitous
connectivity has dramatically shifted the way we communicate, and
as a result, the way we date and pursue relationships has changed.
The share of 18- to 24-year-olds who use online dating has roughly
tripled from 10 percent in 2013 to 27 percent today. Modern dating
techniques and technology-enabled interpersonal communication have
resulted in very distinct emotional side effects. Dating and Mating
in a Techno-Driven World explores dating in our 21st-century world
with a unique approach, providing understandable information for
anyone who is dating or seeking a long-term relationship while also
serving as a clinical guide for therapists who want to learn how to
treat individuals and especially couples presenting with some sort
of issue related to technology. Instead of simply offering an
analysis of the trends that are occurring, author Rachel Hoffman
addresses the interpersonal problems and conflicts that result from
digital or remote communication and "courting" and explains how to
treat them. The topics addressed include utilizing dating apps, the
effects of social media on relationships, and how technology can be
distracting in relationships. Each chapter of the book supplies a
case study or vignette, an analysis of the situation, research
findings related to the topic, and clinical information that
identifies the implications for therapists working with individuals
or couples with a similar experience.
