Technological Addictions: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Technological Addictions" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Technological Addictions is a wakeup call alerting the medical communityand society at largeto the addictive potential of technology and to technological addictions as legitimate psychiatric conditions worthy of medical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. No other book tackles these addictions, individually and collectively, contextualizing them for both mental health professionals and the interested public. Petros Levounis, an authority on addiction whos been an early voice on the intersection of addiction and technology, and James Sherer are uniquely well-suited to the task, and they have recruited an impressive list of contributors who write thoughtfully, eloquently, and authoritatively on their respective topics. The 10 chapters address the different kinds of technological addiction, as well as how they manifest and impact particular populations. Core to this discussion is the fine line between addictive and nonpathological use. After all, technology makes modern life possible, so assessing whether patients have crossed that line is not an easy task.
Other noteworthy topics In 2019, gaming disorder was added to the ICD-11, a controversial move raised a difficult question: are video games addictive and harmful, or are they just another pastime? The book helps clinicians understand video games as a cultural phenomenon, analyzing both their social importance and with their addictive potential. Cybersex and online pornography can hijack our dopaminergic reward pathways like any other addictive substance, destroying relationships, bank accounts, and mental health. The book provides a brief history followed by a discussion of diagnostic criteria, screening tools, associations, and treatments. Although seemingly harmless, even social media can become addictive, as people create online personae that may confuse and undermine both their sense of self and their sense of connectedness to the world, leading to anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and ADHD. The book helps readers distinguish between healthy and pathological social media use and explores treatment options for the latter. Technology is an integral factor in what has become known as information overload, which is associated with decreased performance and job satisfaction, work-related stress, social isolation, impaired sleep, relationship issues, and other problems. The book examines the underlying psychology of internet addiction and problematic internet use, their comorbidities, psychopathological models, and treatments. Significantly older when first introduced to the internet, older adults may face unique challenges and vulnerabilities, and this evolving understanding of the role of technology in their lives, both in terms of positive changes and the risk for pathological patterns of use and other potential harms, is explored in-depth.
Although written primarily for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, patients, parents, teachers, students, administrators, and anyone who is interested in how humans interact with technology will find Technological Addictions fascinating and thought provoking.

Addiction to alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, and opioids can be devastating, as we all know. However, video games, online pornography, internet gaming, internet gambling, and other technological addictions can be every bit as addictive as substances. People have gotten so caught up in virtual pursuits that they have lost jobs, money, and loved ones in the real world. As technology becomes integrated into every facet of modern life, these technological addictions are becoming increasingly prevalent.
This book aims to help clinicians (as well as patients, parents, teachers, students, administrators, and anyone else who is interested in how humans interact with technology) master the fundamentals of the emerging technological addictions. The book is organized into 10 chapters: Video Games; Cybersex and Online Pornography; Internet Gambling; Texting, Emailing, and Other Online Messaging; Internet Surfing and Information Overload; Social Media; Online Shopping and Auctions; Children and Adolescents; Special Considerations for Older Adults; and New and Emerging Addictive Technologies. Some chapters overlap because people may be addicted to multiple technologies. Each chapter begins with the psychological and cultural context of that particular technology or population, which includes history and definitions, as well as the 21st-century reality of the people who struggle with these addictions every day. We also address the difference between healthy engagement with technology and addiction. Finally, each chapter includes some practice questions to cement the readers knowledge and understanding.
Most of us know somebody, whether a patient, family member, or friend, who might be described as being addicted to technology. One of our patients, a 25-year-old man, could not date offline because he could not find anyone as attractive as his virtual partners. Another, a 20-something war veteran with schizoaffective disorder, ended up homeless because he racked up more than $10,000 in credit card debt buying virtual accessories to enhance his status in an online game. Yet another 20-something veteran with PTSD spent countless hours playing
