Second Edition
Edited By
Jayne Gackenbach, Athabasca University, Alberta, Canada
Description
The previous edition provided the first resource for examining how the Internet affects our definition of who we are and our communication
and work patterns. It examined how normal behavior differs from the pathological with respect to Internet use. Coverage includes how
the internet is used in our social patterns: work, dating, meeting people of similar interests, how we use it to conduct business, how
the Internet is used for learning, children and the Internet, what our internet use says about ourselves, and the philosophical ramifications
of internet use on our definitions of reality and consciousness. Since its publication in 1998, a slew of other books on the topic have
emerged, many speaking solely to internet addiction, learning on the web, or telehealth. There are few competitors that discuss the breadth
of impact the internet has had on intrpersonal, interpersonal, and transpersonal psychology.
Audience
Social psychologists, sociologists, clinical psychologists, as well as researchers in communication
