Book Description
“Addiction” has historically been associated with substance use and alcohol, the neuro scientific perspective has brought about a change in understanding these behaviours. One such concept (even prevalent today) is appetitive conditioning, defined as “The process through which new rewards are learned and acquire their motivational salience.” The handbook is a compilation of thirteen chapters, aiding to understand the various clinical issues in digital psychology and emerging (probable) behavioural addictions in one volume. Distinctly, the handbook focuses on an Indian perspective while presenting a global picture of the critical behavioural presentations emerging in a digital world.
