Workshop Description

Researchers are increasingly looking into the effect on our children of time spent in front of electronic screens. This workshop presents a thorough overview of that research, helping you understand the consequences of living a screen-saturated life, whether interactive and passive, on developing children as well as on adults. The workshop will help you identify the symptoms of “Electronic Screen Syndrome” in your clients, and teach effective interventions to address the effects of too much screen time.

Course Learning Objectives

  • 1.       Participants will be able to describe and discuss background knowledge on screen dependence including the following: clinical relevance and therapeutic importance; new clinical vocabulary as well as a review of terminology in association with presenting pathology and symptomology; and considerations/limitations to research.
  • 2.       Participants will be able to describe and discuss some of the most common neurological, physiological, emotional, psychological, relational or social, and behavioral manifestations as the result of interactive and passive screen-time.
  • 3.       Participants will be able to compare and contrast the symptoms/manifestations of Electronic Screen Syndrome (Dunkley, 2015) with presenting symptomatology of other clinical disorders (with an emphasis on Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder) and evaluate their respective therapeutic implications and considerations.
  • 4.       Participants will be able to describe several research-based interventions for addressing health consequences and concerns of screen dependence for children and families.
  • Who Should Attend?
  • This workshop is intended for students, interns and practicing therapists interested in improving their skills and knowledge of the effect of modern electronics on their clients. Both members and non-members are encouraged to attend.
