Contrasting Case Studies of Frequent Internet Use: Is It Pathological or Adaptive?
Journal of college student psychotherapy, Vol.14(4), pp.9-18
07/20/2000
Abstract
Two case studies that describe individuals who use the Internet eight hours or more per day are presented. The first portrays and discusses the severe problems that occurred in a student's social, occupational and scholastic life as a result of his frequent Internet use. The second case study shows how the Internet has both improved and hindered a foreign exchange student's life. These cases illustrate how interactive technologies engage users psychologically, and may prompt both adaptive and maladaptive behaviors and consequences among college students.
