 Sex, Shopping, Gambling and Gaming:
Addicons in the TwentyFirst Century
A One Day Conference for all Clinicians, Saturday, January 29, 2011
In these rapidly changing, technologically driven mes, therapists need to be aware how to assess and determine the nature of
process addicons, all of which include Internet use and abuse. These are behavioral problems that don’t necessarily involve
drugs or alcohol, yet undermine relaonships, careers and family life in a similar way to addicve substances. This conference
will provide an overview of the assessment and treatment of four types of process addicons: Sex, Shopping, Gambling and
Gaming. Our presenters will emphasize the treatment process and look at the neurobiology, underlying causes, selfdestrucve
behaviors and denial that are a part of these addicve behaviors.

Join us in our mission to keep mental health professionals up to date on the current trends in assessing and delivering the
best clinical care.
