The addiction addiction?. Knight, T. A PsycCRITIQUES, 57(17):No–Pagination Specified–No Pagination Specified, 2012. doi abstract bibtex Reviews the book, Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide to Evaluation and Treatment by Kimberly S. Young and Cristiano Nabuco de Abreu (see record 2010-22949-000). The reviewer found much to commend in this book because it presents an impressive range of current views of problematic Internet use and, in doing so, provides fascinating insight into human beings who, again and again, have been seduced by the siren call of new technologies that allow us to experience aspects of life in ways previously impossible. Although this book provides insights into the shape and nature of problematic Internet use, the reviewer believes it unfortunately and too often does so by beginning with an assumed conclusion—that is, averring that problematic Internet use is a true addiction, a mental illness, a disease. Despite its penetrating perspectives, the reviewer asserts the book’s potential is mitigated by the relatively consistent insistence that this is a “real disorder,” a “real disease,” a “real addiction.” (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
