By Ofer Zur, Ph.D.


Online gaming has a lot to teach us about education and how children and young people in 2010 learn, and as importantly, like to learn. One of the most important things that young people need to learn is how to find a healthy balance between their online and offline lives.

This workshop will explore Internet and Gaming Addiction, the Psychology of the Web, and address how to help adolescents addicted to the Internet and Gaming recover and achieve healthy balance. Dr. Zur will conduct role-playing scenarios to illustrate how to treat clients, using workshop participants who will be invited to act as addicted teens, worried parents and educators.
