Learn about clinical interventions for treating screen addictions and parent tools that impact screen use from our renowned panel of experts.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
In this introductory three-part panel interactive discussion, leading experts Dr. Pine, Dr. Pletter, and Dr. Sussman will provide a brief overview of the current research on screen time and screen addictions. Dr. Abigail Romirowsky will moderate the panel.
The training begins with a review by Dr. Pine of prospective longitudinal studies on screens and whether they contribute to mental illness.
Dr. Pletter then discusses clinical vs. problematic screen use, along with strategies for differentiating between the two. He also addresses parent tools for helping address problematic screen use in children and adolescents, and he describes when parents may need to seek professional help for problematic screen use.
Dr. Sussman rounds out the conversation detailing clinical interventions for treating screen addiction. He also reviews confounding clinical issues associated with screen addiction.
Participants will come away from this training with enhanced basic knowledge of the impact of screens on mental health, criteria for assessing problematic and clinical screen use, parenting supports and guidance to address problematic screen use in a child, and therapy interventions and confounding issues related to clinical screen use.
