Game Addiction: The Experience and the Effects

Game Addiction: The Experience and the Effects (Paperback)

I believe this blog posting won't be complete if I not talk about Game Addiction. Read some review below adaptation from Amazon.

"Clark and Scott have blasted out a reasoned, hard-hitting account of video gaming that is both authoritative and non-judgmental. Their first-hand perspective yields useful information along with a powerful message about the potential and the peril inherent in our--and our children's--growing dependence on the satisfactions of virtual worlds. Anyone who can still think deeply will do so after reading this book!" --Jane M. Healy, Ph.D. Educational psychologist and author of Failure to Connect: How Computers Affect Our Children's Minds and What We Can Do About It

Finally a book about video game addiction that is not just about statistics and research, but from the minds of those who realized that they have played a little more than they have liked. With their motivation to find out why, I found the books relevance to the subject to be that much more heartfelt; with data to support that yes you can show all the signs of someone who is addicted, but not condemn game playing. I never felt like I was being lectured to, but given the facts to how to handle excessive game play and prevent it in children before it can become a problem.
