Excessive and potentially addictive use of the Internet among children and adolescents has emerged as a major concern in recent times. Internet addiction is often conceptualized as an impulse control disorder, with features similar to pathological gambling. However, there remains considerable debate about the core components, etiological processes, course, and maintaining factors of the disorder. This article presents a case study of a 16-year-old male with generalized pathological Internet use. Critical issues relevant to case conceptualization, assessment, and choice of therapy are examined. Although the evidence base is limited in this emerging area of clinical psychology, we provide a summary of empirically supported cognitive-behavioral techniques for Internet addiction.
近年来，儿童和青少年过度且可能上瘾地使用互联网已成为一个主要关注点。网络成瘾通常被概念化为一种冲动控制障碍，其特征类似于病态赌博。然而，对于该障碍的核心组成部分、发病过程、病程和维持因素仍存在相当大的争议。本文介绍了一例 16 岁男性广泛性病理性互联网使用的案例研究。本文研究了与案例概念化、评估和治疗选择相关的关键问题。尽管在这一新兴的临床心理学领域证据基础有限，但我们提供了一个总结，其中包括对网络成瘾有实证支持的认知-行为技术。
