This volume (Volume 4 in a comprehensive four‑volume set) explores behavioral addictions—compulsive patterns that are not substance-based—by examining them from initial concept to full-blown compulsion. Edited by Angela Browne‑Miller, Director of the Metaxis Compulsive and Habitual Behaviors Institute in California, the book brings together a diverse, international team of scholars and practitioners.
Key features include:
Broad scope of behavioral addictions: Covers work addiction, television and internet dependency (including gaming), compulsive and excessive buying, food-related addictions and eating disorders, pornography addiction, gambling (with insights into youth gambling and specific regional contexts like Macau and Native American communities), and intimate partner relationship addictions.
Multi-method approach: Combines conceptual discussions—exploring causes, risk factors, criminological associations—with practical insights into assessment and treatment. It addresses how various populations (by age, gender, culture) are affected and treated.
Global and culturally diverse perspectives: Contributions hail from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and beyond, lending cross-cultural depth to topics relating to gambling, eating disorders, and Internet addiction.
Emphasis on prevention and treatment: Includes chapters on assessment, therapeutic approaches, and resilience education, with particular attention to youth and harm-reduction strategies.
Interdisciplinary expertise: Contributors come from clinical, academic, public-health, and policy backgrounds, offering a well-rounded, evidence-based view of contemporary behavioral addictions.
