A Cross-Cultural Approach to
Counseling Wired Students Across the Digital Divide
Are you a Luddite or linked-in? When counseling net-generation students,
the therapist's views about wired technologies become a cultural lens that
affects the counseling process. In this workshop participants will:
- learn about the newest trends in online content and communication
technologies
- check their own knowledge, assumptions and biases about online
social networking, gaming, virtual worlds and pornography
- discuss how identity and intimacy tasks of early adulthood may be
affected in positive and negative ways by Internet habits
- discuss interventions and support resources for problematic online
behavior, including the current controversy around compulsive Internet
use - is it an addiction?
Participants will be invited to contribute their own observations on the
risks and rewards of student online activities, and how they are manifested
in therapeutic settings.
