Welcome to Virtual-Addiction.com from Dr. Dave Greenfield
 Welcome to the web site of Dr. Dave Greenfield and The Center for Internet Behavior, a practice dedicated to providing therapeutic services, information, and resources on e-behavior and Internet addiction and compulsion (at home and in the workplace). Our job is help you restore some balance and sanity to your life that has been affected by compulsive use of the Internet for sex, chatting, emailing, gaming , etc. The Internet, along with many other portable digital and devices (PDA's, Cell Phones, etc.) clearly has a role to play in today's information age and will become increasingly important in our communications, our work life and our daily activities. However , the very nature of the Internet also lends itself to abuse, leading people to exhibit behaviors that are counterproductive, isolating and abusive - to ourselves, our families, our employers and the community at large.We also deal with a variety of other addictions and compulsions including: Sex, Alcohol, Substances, and Gambling. Our treatments include a variety of behavior therapies, psychotherapy , group therapy, and other holistic and alternative medical approaches to assist in: 1. altering/ending the addiction pattern, 2. preventing relapse, and 3. developing understanding into to the unconscious reasons why we develop our addictions. Our addictions and other behaviors always serve some purpose and in a sense are an attempt to try and heal or hide pain---obviously this often becomes a problem unto itself which is what we help you understand and change. Our aim is to increase your consciousness and balance and to provide tools to help you live a fuller, healthier life.
Dr. Dave's and The Center for Internet Behavior's mission is to provide a forum to educate, train and prevent the negative behaviors that may result from Internet abuse and addiction. Our mission is furthered by providing consulting, training and research services to the business community, schools and universities, mental health providers, and, families.
The Center for Internet Behavior was founded by Dr. Dave Greenfield, clinical psychologist and authority on the Internet and Internet behaviors. Dr. Dave Greenfield offers consultation, workshops and lectures on a variety of Internet-related topics. He is also the author of Virtual Addiction.
