Cyberpsychology (also known as Internet
psychology, web psychology, or digital psychology) is a
developing field that encompasses all psychological phenomena
associated with or affected by emerging technology.
Cyber comes from the word cyberspace, the study of the
operation of control and communication; psychology is the study of
the mind and behaviour. There are a number of books available in
the field of cyberpsychology, but few study the psychiatric
aspects, ie, dealing with mental health problems arising from the
misuse of cyberspace, for example internet addiction,
cyberbullying, cyberstalking, cyberchondria, and revenge porn. This
book is a guide to the diagnosis and management of such mental
health issues. Beginning with an overview of the structure and
science of cyberspace, the next chapters discuss human development
in the age of cyberspace and its impact on social structure and
dynamics. The following sections explore the various mental health
problems, explaining their background, causes, treatment and
prevention. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone
practising and training in mental health. Key points Comprehensive
guide to cyberpsychiatry for practising and trainee mental health

cyberstalking and internet addiction In depth explanation of
causes, treatment and prevention Discusses impact of cyberspace on
