Internet addiction results in personal, family, academic, financial, and occupational problems that are characteristic of other addictions.  Impairments of real-life relationships are disrupted as a result of excessive use of the Internet.  Individuals suffering from Internet addiction spend more time in solitary seclusion, spend less time with real people in their lives, and are often viewed as socially awkward. Arguments may result due to the volume of time spent online.  Those suffering from Internet addiction may attempt to conceal the amount of time spent online, which results in distrust and the disturbance of quality in once stable relationships.

What are the Treatment Options?
The first step in treatment is the recognition that a problem exists. If you do not believe you have a problem, you are not likely to seek treatment. One of the overarching problems with the Internet is that there is often no accountability and no limits. You are hidden behind a screen – and some things that you may say or do online are things you would never do in person.
Some of the more common psychological treatments of Internet Addiction Disorder include:
  • Individual, group, or family therapy
  • Behavior modification
  • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Equine Therapy
  • Art Therapy
  • Recreation Therapy
  • Reality Therapy

UNIT 7: WORKPLACE PRIVACY

Privacy is the state of not being seen by others. In different companies employers are taking the option of putting cameras and others practices of monitoring what the emploees are doing during their worktime; like cameras in front of the bathrooms, even more into the bathrooms, eavesdropping on personal telephones conversations during the workday, and reading the incoming and out going e-mails. Many employers think that they have the right to keep an eye on to evaluate their emploees and care their business, but sometimes they are invading the emploees privacy and making them feel demeaned and disrespected. Many countries have a few safeguards to protect emploees' privacy, but most countries have no laws about workplace privacy.
