eReflect’s Ultimate Typing Highlights Actions from Chinese Government Regarding Internet Addiction In New Blog Post
New York City, NY (PRWEB) February 04, 2015
A new short documentary has been promoted on the Ultimate Typing™ blog, focusing on teenage internet addiction and the Chinese government’s controversial approach to it. The documentary, titled “China’s Web Junkies,” was produced and directed by Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia. It gives an inside peek into how internet addicts are dealt with by the Chinese government. Back in 2008, internet addiction was classified as a clinical disorder in China, which also considered the phenomenon a primary threat to the health of millions of teenagers in the country, something the documentary highlights.
The teenagers that end up in the treatment facilities receive a mix of military and therapy drills to help them overcome their internet addiction. These teenagers receive this controversial treatment for up to four months, in hopes of overcoming their addiction, at which point they are reintroduced to society. Although eReflect recognizes that internet addiction does have an impact on the lives of millions of people around the world, the company points out that using a bootcamp-like treatment which involves extreme therapy methods is questionable, to say the least.
Internet addiction is a new and largely unstudied social phenomenon that only escalated in the last decade or so, with the proliferation of online gaming. Internet addiction is defined differently by different organizations and states, and there’s no one single viewpoint on its status, the preferred treatment, or even the desired outcome. That’s why governments and clinicians need a more systematic approach to this modern-day phenomenon, eReflect notes. As the designer of one of the best typing program products on the market, the company is of course supportive of responsible internet and computer use.
Several typing software reviews of eReflect’s program highlight that internet and computer use is such an integral part of daily life that people need above-average typing skills to be efficient at their jobs. eReflect’s learn to type software helps people improve their typing efficiency and accuracy. In fact, young people who have good keyboarding skills should be encouraged to use this ability to apply for better jobs, improve other skills, learn new languages, and in general work towards self-improvement using technology, rather than passively spending their time in online recreation. Although gaming and general internet use is one form of entertainment, it should be one that’s closely monitored by individuals to avoid the extremes leading to addiction, eReflect concludes.

Paradigm Malibu Now Provides Gaming and Internet Addiction Treatment for Teens
Paradigm Malibu Now Provides Gaming and Internet Addiction Treatment for Teens
Malibu, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2014
Paradigm Malibu extends their treatment options to include computer and gaming addictions, understanding the world is changing and teen problems are changing along with it. The treatment assists those facing an addiction to the Internet, computers or gaming systems, as these devices are now easily accessed by children of this age group. “Parents concerned about their child and the time he or she spends on the computer, Internet or gaming system now have somewhere to turn for help,” Cole Rucker of Paradigm Malibu declares.
Many programs focus on modifying the behavior of the teen, rather than addressing the underlying causes, which is why parents are choosing to turn more frequently to Paradigm Malibu for teen Internet addiction treatment or teen gaming addiction treatment. “At Paradigm Malibu, we treat the underlying issues to ensure the behavioral changes are long term and that any co-occurring disorders are also treated,” Rucker goes on to say.
Therapists at Paradigm Malibu work with teens to help them identify the feelings and/or stressors which precede the behavior. They also help the teens discover what feelings or relief the behavior produces along with what habits and/or experiences are connected with this behavior. “When teens understand how to evaluate and recognize the nature of the behaviors, they are better able to see the connections in their own lives, which is the first step in helping them overcome the addiction,” Rucker explains.
Teens, with the help of classical and experimental treatment approaches, learn to cope with stress and replace negative behaviors with positive ones. They re-establish a healthy belief system and a positive sense of self while recovering from their addiction. “Parents and teens love the programs offered through Paradigm Malibu as they actually treat the issue rather than just dealing with the symptoms, symptoms which may arise in another form when the underlying issue isn’t addressed,” Rucker continues.
No matter what an adolescent is suffering from, Paradigm Malibu can be of assistance. “Check out the substance abuse, mental health and treatment programs offered at the Malibu facility as well as the addiction treatment programs. Paradigm Malibu also offers a teen grief and loss treatment program, a gifted teen program and one designed specifically for athletes as no adolescent is immune to developing problems, thanks to the many challenges they face on a daily basis. Paradigm Malibu works to help the teens face these challenges head on in a healthy way,” Rucker proclaims.
