The Healthy Use of Technology: Treatment in an Outpatient Setting

This is a live interactive webinar presentation.

Technology can enhance our lives in many ways. It can make us more effective, productive and efficient. It also can entertain us and can help us connect with others. Unfortunately, when used to excess, technology can negatively impact our lives. Some individuals are unable to effectively limit their use of electronic media. The excessive use of electronic media can be an attempt to cope with significant psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, or social skills deficits. Dr. Spector will present on the healthy use of technology, including common forms of electronic games (computer, video, phone apps), the Internet (including the use of social networking sites and online communities), and the use of smartphones.

At the completion of the program, participants will be able to:

• To be able to recognize 3 warning signs of when someone is compulsively using technology, such as video/computer games, cell phones, and the Internet.
• To identify 2 variables that make someone vulnerable to using technology in an unhealthy or compulsive way.
• To identify 3 tools/strategies available to parents and clinicians for use of video games and social media.
• To identify 2 components that make video games an ideal learning environment
