Recenzii
“The case study helps unearth solutions to common “psychosocial problems”. Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above.” Y.Kiuchi, Michigan State University – Choice February 2014
'The idea of Internet addiction haunts parents, teachers, and other adults, as well as the youth who feel overwhelmed by the appeal of the virtual world. Many refer to psychological instability, worsening grades at school, distancing of self from friends and family, and other signs as evidence of such addiction. ... The author recognizes that some Chinese youth indeed demonstrate problematic behavioral patterns that make it difficult to lead what is considered to be a "normal" life. In order to deal with these concerns, Bax suggests that a new approach of "[seeking] to uncover the intra-, inter- and extra-personal factors underlining socially problematic Internet use" is necessary. This approach is applicable to other social concerns in the era of digital technology outside of China. The case study helps unearth solutions to common "psychosocial problems."' – Y. Kiunchi, Michigan State University, CHOICE, February 2014
"This book will be of value to clinicians, researchers and those interested in cross-cultural differences in the perception of addictive behaviours and their treatment, and those seeking alternative humanistic-based explanations for excessive behaviours. A highly recommended and informative read." – International Gambling Studies

Descriere
A form of 'electronic opium' is how some people have characterised young people’s internet use in China. The problem of 'internet addiction' (wangyin) is seen by some parents as so severe that they have sought psychiatric help for their children. This book contrasts the views of young people who see internet use as a welcome escape from the pressures of contemporary Chinese life, with the approach of their parents, who medicalise internet overuse and insist that working hard for good school grades is the way to progress. The author argues that the greater problem may in fact lie with parents and other authority figures, who misguidedly apply high pressure to enforce young people to conform to the empty values of a modern, dehumanised consumer-oriented society.
