“…A separate issue that is not addressed during both case reports relates to the nature of the ersatz selfobject itself that makes it addictive; in all addictions the addict will shift from various chemical substances to more favorite ones, as noted by Taipale [23]. This discussion is sorely lacking in the IGD paradigm.…”

“…A significant obstacle in the provision of psychoanalytically guided treatment for IGD is the fact that there is very little in the way of psychoanalytic theory for online gaming disorder despite some early pioneering work on interaction with computers as early as 1984, with Turkle noting from a Lacanian viewpoint the existence of computer users who saw interaction with the machine as a goal in itself rather than a means to a goal [21]. A recent in-depth review of theory and treatment of IGD [22] completely overlooks any analytic contribution in the study of addiction in general, referencing only a single article by Taipale [23], yet failing to expand on its content. This is unfortunate since Taipale aptly highlights a core issue with all 'behavioral' addictions: the medium of addiction by itself cannot be considered as 'addictive' since only a minority of users become addicted, then it is '.…”

“…. more reasonable to search for the origin and cause of addiction in the structures of the experiencing subject' ( [23] p. 30). Interestingly, while various theories of personality have been researched over the years with regards to IGD and IAD in general [24], their impact on case formulation and treatment has been negligible.…”

Background: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is now an official diagnosis and significant public health challenges have been already identified regarding the provision of appropriate care to patients of all ages and the preparedness of mental health professionals to manage the disorder. Despite the existence of psychotherapeutic treatment modalities available for some time now, there is a paucity of any psychoanalytically driven treatments and the disorder is widely regarded and classified as being ‘behavioral’. This has profound implications for patients with long-standing character pathology and psychiatric comorbidities, who are underserved by the provision of health services that could efficiently address their issues. Methods: This study presents a psychoanalytic perspective on IGD, based on Kohut’s Self Psychology as applied in the treatment of other addictions. An outline of the theory, assessment and treatment modalities is presented with two case reports that illustrate its application. Results: The presentation outlines the challenges in treating IGD, expanding on the concept of guided imagery, resistance to treatment, selfobject transference and comorbidity with marijuana use and bipolar disorder. Conclusions: A psychoanalytically driven protocol can be effective in treating IGD, especially in cases with marked character pathology and low motive to engage in other treatment modalities.

“…Pandangan kedua memperlihatkan di mana ketika usaha pemenuhan kebutuhan ini menjadi sulit dikendalikan sehingga individu menjadi terlibat dalam perilaku penggunaan media sosial yang berlebihan dan adiktif. Persoalan regulasi diri memang disebutkan dalam beberapa riset terkait adiksi seperti adiksi internet maupun adiksi media sosial (LaRose, Lin, & Eastin, 2003;Li, Chen, Li, & Li, 2014;Shapira, Goldsmith, Keck, Khosla, & McElroy, 2000;Taipale, 2017). Menurut Young (1998), hal ini dapat terjadi karena individu menjadi tergantung dengan perasaan suka cita saat mengunakan internet dan pengalaman-pengalaman yang didapat sehingga sulit untuk mengendalikan diri dan berhenti.…”

“…If an individual can regulate his/her conduct effectively, s/he is more likely to maintain positive and healthy functioning as opposed to maladaptive behaviors (Pichardo et al, 2018). SR has been applied to a variety of issues and settings, such as addiction (Taipale, 2017), religion (Laurin and Kay, 2016), workplace motivation (Grandey, 2000), intimate relationships (Overall et al, 2006), crime (Tittle et al, 2003), sports (Nicholls, 2016), and learning (Boekaerts, 1997). When students apply SR at school, they use meta-cognitive strategies to plan, monitor, and modify their learning and cognition (Brown, 2011), including management skills for academic performance (Pintrich and DeGroot, 1990).…”

Self-regulation (SR) is a vital trait whereby people adapt to the environments and achieve goals, yet measurements of general SR remain scant in Asian countries. Due to insufficient items in several dimensions, in this study we revised and revalidated our previous work of the Short Self-Regulation Questionnaire for Taiwanese college students (TSSRQ) by incorporating student perspectives and aspects of affective/motivation regulation. Through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, we validated the "New TSSRQ" which contained 39 items in seven factors, including Proactiveness (PA), Self-Management (SM), Goal Setting (GS), Mindfulness (MF), Goal Attainment (GA), Adjustment (AD), and Motivation (MO). Subsequently, we explored the correlation between New TSSRQ dimensions and those of the Scale of Psychological Well-Being (SPWB) as a source of validity evidence. Findings indicated that SR and PWB are highly correlated, especially for Mindfulness and Proactiveness dimensions. Implications of this study were discussed along with practical suggestions to leverage college students' mindfulness, proactiveness, and self-regulation in general.
