Web sites, newsgroups, and e-mail lists all are very powerful resources for people to find the information and help they need," said psychologist John Suler, PhD, professor of psychology at Rider University in New Jersey and webmaster of the Psychology of Cyberspace Web site. But could the anonymity of the Net offer too much of a good thing to some netizens? That is the question some mental health experts are asking. Many researchers even use the same term Goldberg used in his hoax, "Internet addiction disorder" (IAD), to describe the addiction. Goldberg, who specializes in treating people with treatment-resistant mood disorders, fabricated and posted a list of IAD symptoms on PsyCom.Net

For many people, the very notion of "Internet addiction" is enough to produce guffaws. The above list of "symptoms" can be found in various permutations all over the World Wide Web. One site consists of an elaborate, 12-step parody of Internet addiction recovery - complete with its own Serenity Prayer. But for growing numbers of people, such jokes are falling flat.

In a study conducted by psychologist Kimberly S. Young, Psy.D., behavior of 496 heavy on-line users was compared to the clinical criteria used to classify pathological gambling as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders - Fourth Addition (DSM-IV). Pathological gambling is considered the closest type of addiction to internet addiction because it involves failed impulse control without involving an intoxicant. The term internet in this study is defined as any on-line system or network (the actual internet, America on-line, Compuserve or Prodigy, bulletin board systems and freenet systems). Subjects who were active internet users and answered an ad were eligible for the study. Each subject was classified as dependent internet users if they met four or more of the following criteria over a 12 month period:

Perhaps, on a broad level, it makes sense to talk about a "Cyberspace Addiction" - an addiction to virtual realms of experience created through computer engineering. Within this broad category, there may be subtypes with distinct differences. A teenager who plays hooky from school in order to master the next level of Donkey Kong may be a very different person than the middle aged housewife who spends $500 a month in AOL chat rooms - who in turn may be very different from the businessman who can't tear himself away from his finance programs and continuous internet access to stock quotes. Some cyberspace addictions are game and competition oriented, some fulfill more social needs, some simply may be an extension of workaholicism. Then again, these differences may be superficial. Nevertheless, some people are definitely hurting themselves by their addiction to computers and cyberspace. When people lose their jobs, or flunk out of school, or are divorced by their spouses because they cannot resist devoting all of their time to virtual lands, they are pathologically addicted. These extreme cases are clear cut. But as in all addictions, the problem is where to draw the line between "normal" enthusiasm and "abnormal" preoccupation.

Goldberg's criteria for internet "addiction" are remarkably similar to those of other researchers and clinicians who are studying this phenomenon. However, Goldberg intended the message as a joke, as evident, very subtly, by the word "humor" in the url of his web page that contains a similar text ( www.cog.brown.edu/brochure/people/duchon/humor/internet.addiction.html ). Joking about being "addicted" is commonplace among avid internet users. Are those jokes just a self-conscious poking fun at one's personal passion, perhaps even a positive indication of self-awareness? Or could it be, in some cases, a sign of minimizing one's problems, even a version of the denial that is so common among many types of addictions? The idea of an internet support group for internet addicts indeed seems ironic. It would be like holding A.A. meetings in bar, or Gambler's Anonymous meetings in a casino. And yet, reaching out through the internet to those who are problematically involved in cyberspace could be a viable strategy. It might be a first step towards helping them reduce internet use. The history of psychotherapy is filled with seemingly paradoxical yet viable approaches, such as flooding, implosion, and strategic therapy. As silly as it seems, might an online internet support group also work?

He immediately took to internet and soon discovered email and chat rooms. His parents watched over his shoulder for the first few weeks and discussed the need to be cautious with personal information and made sure that Josh was steering clear of pornographic and violent websites. As they became comfortable with Josh’s behavior on the internet, they no longer watched over him while he chatted with online friends and played online games. Problems soon arose, however. Josh began to spend most of his time in his bedroom with the computer, and he was moody when he was forced to spend time with his family. His grades dropped from A’s and B’s to C’s and D’s. He was irritable when he was away from his computer and often stayed online into the early mornings. When his alarmed parents removed the computer from Josh’s room, he became very hostile and threatened to harm himself. Josh’s parents quickly sought counseling for internet addiction.

    Extractions: get involved! The amount of time kids spend online is a source of frustration for many parents. Initially, parents welcomed the Internet into their homes, believing they were opening up an exciting new world of educational opportunities for their children. However, many parents soon realized that, instead of using the Internet for homework or research, their kids were spending hours instant messaging with friends, playing online games or talking to strangers in chat rooms. Maintaining a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in their children's lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. The engaging nature of Internet communications and interactive games means many children and teens have trouble keeping track of time when they're online. It is likely that over 10 per cent of students have an Internet dependency problem. Unfortunately, parents and teachers are usually not aware that there is a problem until it becomes serious. This is because it is easy to hide what you are doing online and because Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community. (Mental health practitioners continue to debate whether this behaviour is an "addiction," with some preferring to identify it as "compulsive behaviour.") Children and young people can easily become 'hooked' on online activities such as multi-user games, instant messaging, pornography and chat rooms. The most vulnerable children, according to the Computer-Addiction Services at Harvard Medical School, are those who are "lonely and bored or from families where nobody is at home to relate to after school."

But reports about the alleged disease - from The New York Times to CNN to PC Week - are primarily based on hype and misconstrued jokes. "It's all bullshit.... There's no such thing as Internet addiction," says Dr. Ivan Goldberg, the psychologist who inadvertently started the Internet addiction meme that has spread far beyond its intention. "The Internet is about as addictive as work: Sure, there are workaholics, but they're simply working to avoid the other problems in their lives." Goldberg coined "Internet Addiction Disorder" a few years ago as a parody of DSM IV, a classification system for psychiatric illnesses such as compulsive gambling, anorexia, cocaine abuse, kleptomania, and pedophilia. He took his joke so far as to start an Internet Addiction Support Group mailing list. Unfortunately, a group of psychologists and journalists took him all-too seriously: Interview requests started flooding into Goldberg's office, people joined his mailing list to discuss their behavior, and several psychologists began opening clinics and conducting research into the disorder.

    Extractions: by Lamar Stonecypher Are you compulsive in your use of the internet? Do you devote time to your online pursuits that would better be devoted to your family or career? Do you get up in the wee hours of the morning to check your email, or your favorite website? If the answer to one or more of these questions is yes, you might be suffering from Internet Addiction Disorder. This malady was first described by Ivan Goldberg, MD, of Columbia University. He characterized it as a "maladaptive pattern of internet use, leading to clinically significant impairment or distress." (Source: Duchon) Psychologist Kimberly S. Young likens internet addiction to pathological gambling addiction because it "involves failed impulse control without involving an intoxicant." Young studied 396 heavy internet users from a pool of volunteers who responded to an ad. Participants were selected if they reported four or more of the following: Feel preoccupied with the internet (think about it while offline) Feel a need to use the internet with increasing amounts of time in order to achieve satisfaction;

Our society is becoming more and more computer dependent not only for information, but for fun and entertainment. This trend is a potential problem affecting all ages, starting with computer games for kids to chats for the unwary or vulnerable adult. A mother has difficulty getting her child to do chores when computer games occupy all after school time.

58. "Internet Addiction": Addictive Behavior, Transference Or More?
    Dr. Michael Fenichel, a clinical psychologist, comments on internet addiction as seen in daily practice and as a concept which is ripe for research.  
    http://www.fenichel.com/addiction.shtml
    
    Extractions: Addictive Behavior, Transference or More? A look at internet relationships: Transference, Addiction, or Sublimation? Much attention has been paid to the phenomenon of Internet Addiction , conceived of as a compulsive behavior, or craving for connectedness, or perhaps even a manifestation of transference or a reflection of object relations, or need-fulfillment. Clearly the life of an "Internet addict" can be as multiply-determined as Windows and Mac operating systems can be multi-tasked . Computer use is increasingly becoming integrated into daily life, and so both the temptations and opportunities for "addiction" seem to continue increasing, exponentially. It is easy to see the tremendous role which "websurfing" has come to play in the quantity and quality of life experiences, among a wide range of Internet afficionados. For both good and bad. My work as a psychologist, as a volunteer in emergency communications in our nation's largest city, and as an Internet content provider and consumer, all lead me to an understanding of "Internet Addiction" which is clearly neither unidimensional nor uniquely psychoanalytical in explanation. In fact, interpersonal theory, structural theory, and learning theory converge to provide the well-heeled websurfer with an infinite opportunity for need gratification. Whether the feedback from the net (the behavioral/social learning/narcissism components), the behavioral reinforcers which come from e-mail and chat contacts, or the opportunity to bind or sublimate aggressive or libidinal impulses (psychoanalytic imperatives)...it is clear that a great many people known to both professional therapists and probably to you the reader, are what we now refer to, perhaps with a chuckle, as "Internet addicts". While common nomenclature and historical perspective (which treats "addiction" as a compleat entity) may or may not support the use of a specific diagnostic entity, "Internet Addiction", the use of the term appears already well-established as a concept within our midst.

Hours and hours after logging on, they can't walk away. When does harmless Internet surfing cross into overuse, or as some say Internet addiction? Nathan A. Shapira, MD, PhD, a psychiatrist in the McKnight Brain Institute at the University of Florida in Gainesville, has been studying this social problem since 1997. His latest paper, published in the current issue of Depression and Anxiety , outlines theories about this phenomenon. When the computer age burgeoned two decades ago, researchers looked into computer and technology dependence. But they didn't find the same damage especially to relationships that Internet overuse seems to cause. In fact, psychiatrists are still trying to figure out what's going on and how best to treat the problem, he says.
