About the Presentation:
Gaming Disorder is a new and controversial diagnosis. It was recently added to the ICD-11 and is currently under consideration to be included in the next edition of the DSM. For many clinicians and parents, it’s a difficult one to understand. What is the difference between a typical, video game-obsessed teen and one with an addiction? Learn about the research behind the disorder, how to spot warning signs, and how to conceptualize treatment for this condition.
Objectives:
- Understand the research supporting and refuting the existence of Gaming Disorder.
- Review the relevant models for how gaming can become addictive for people.
- Learn the diagnostic criteria and how to recognize them in clients.
- Review evidence-based, client-centered practices to help support clients with a gaming disorder.
