This book presents a new, evidence-based cognitive behavioral
intervention for the prevention and treatment of Internet addiction
in adolescents. It provides a comprehensive overview of the current
state of research regarding phenomenology, diagnostics,
epidemiology, etiology, and treatment and prevention of Internet
addiction as a new behavioral addiction. The book is divided into
two sections. The first part of the book explores various
bio-psycho-social factors that contribute to the development and
maintenance of symptoms in young individuals. Chapters in the
second part of the book discuss the PROTECT intervention to reduce
Internet addiction in adolescents. PROTECT aims to modify risk
factors and maintenance factors, specifically, boredom and
motivational problems, procrastination and performance anxiety,
social anxiety and maladaptive emotion regulation. The PROTECT
intervention is a low-intensity approach which uses comprehensive
case examples in order to increase cognitive dissonance and
treatment motivation. In addition, PROTECT contains cognitive
behavioral intervention techniques such as psychoeducation,
behavior activation, cognitive restructuring, problem solving and
emotion regulation. Topics featured in this book include:
Adolescence and development-specific features of Internet
addiction. An overview of modifiable risk factors and maintenance
factors of Internet addiction. Environmental factors that affect
the development of Internet addiction. Online and offline video
gaming addiction. Social network addiction. Strategies that work in
prevention and treatment. Internet Addiction in Adolescents is a
must-have resource for researchers, professors, clinicians and
related professionals as well as graduate students in clinical
child, school, and developmental psychology, educational policy and
politics, and social work as well as related disciplines.
