In the mid 1990s people became fascinated with the Internet, a fact which has not only redesigned the geographic borders of communication within a totally new dimension, but has also created new profiles of personal identities. This paper aims to describe how identities are constructed in cyberspace and outline the risks and the opportunities of such an evolution of human identity. Moving from the identity concept from the theories of Goffman, Erikson and other authors, this paper intends to answer these questions and to discuss the problem of personal identity in the age of the Internet. The aim is to introduce and to discuss through a pedagogical point of view, a specific type of mental disturbance of the Internet age called Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD), a disturbance classified through the criteria of DSM IV as a new form of dependency.

Good Treatment Option

This case study reports the successful treatment of Internet addiction in a 13- year-old male using four 45-minute sessions of the desensitization of triggers and urge reprocessing (DeTUR) protocol—an addiction protocol of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR; Popky, 2005). This protocol uses EMDR procedures to process current triggers and positive future templates, but it does not identify or directly address any past trauma. At baseline, the participant showed a moderate level of Internet addiction (scoring 75 on Young’s Internet Addiction Test [IAT]) and moderate depression (26 on the Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]). During assessment, he identified 7 triggers for Internet gaming and rated the associated urge to engage in the activity with scores of 3–9 on the level of urge scale (0 = lowest, 10 = strongest). Using the DeTUR protocol, the level of urge for each trigger was reduced to 2, which the participants defined as “not being able to think about or crave for the game.” After treatment, his symptoms had declined to nonclinical levels (38 on IAT and 6 on BDI) and he was able to restrict his time on the Internet to an hour per day. These therapeutic gains were maintained at 6- and 12-month follow-up. The DeTUR may be a good treatment option for Internet addiction and further controlled studies are needed.

Theory, history (several decades long), and the current status of the studies in cyberpsychology in the USSR and later in Russia are presented in a condensed form. Socio-historic theory of psychic development, introduced by Vygotsky in 1930s, and particularly ideas of semiotic mediation, seem to offer the best perspectives in cyberpsychological studies. A brief historic overview in this article combines general conclusions and personal memories. Directions of the current studies are briefly described as well. This section starts with studies made within the new communities which emerged with the advance of information technologies; special attention is given to hackers and gamers. The section proceeds with the studies of children’s behavior on the Internet. Finally, research in the field of Internet Addiction Disorder is discussed. The current status of cyberpsychology as a non-universally accepted discipline, in which new generations of specialists are deeply interested, is discussed. Methodological work is presented as the major source of progress in the near future. The reference section includes publications in English and several recommended books which are available exclusively in Russian.
