This highly readable book offers an insightful and compassionate take on the serious problem of internet gaming addiction. It includes theoretical and practical guidance to the gamers who are struggling, as well as to the family members and therapists who are trying to help them. There is a helpful overview of the problem, examining diagnostic considerations, motivational factors (e.g., escapism, need to belong), gender differences, related personality traits, the impact of other mental disorders (e.g., ADHD, OCD), and other contributing factors (e.g., family issues, social challenges, cognitive and neurobiological factors, substance, trauma, and culture). In a non-pedantic and warm personal style, the author models the kind of mindful and caring approach he advocates, at several points personally addressing the reader, and encouraging compassionate observation of their own judgments and emotional reactivity.This book is not an exhaustive review of every available treatment option, and it does not presume to offer the definitive approach to the problem. Instead, it offers an approach grounded in an integration and application of what are likely the author’s preferred therapeutic approaches, most notably Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Compassion-focused Therapy. There is also a consideration of other treatment approaches, such as Emotion-focused Therapy, Nonviolent Communication, and aspects of Cognitive-behavior Therapy. For the therapist reader, the summaries of each of the above approaches are invaluable, and will be relevant to treatment of a wide range of clinical problems.Overall, this is a helpful resource for those who are struggling with the daunting problem of online gaming addiction, and for the professionals and concerned lay-persons who are trying to make a difference in their lives.
