Generazione digitale e nuovi consumi : monitoraggio ed ipotesi di intervento

2024 - Franco Angeli

49-54 p.

It is undoubtedly complex to deal with adolescents and pre-adolescents without taking into account the changing and varied phenomenon of addictions: whether they are substances or behaviors, they impact, sometimes markedly, others more tangentially, in this age group, determining different developmental paths.The clinician, whether working privately or in the Public Service, is confronted with these issues and it is essential that he has the necessary tools to intervene early to prevent the chronicity of risky abusive behaviors and/or the development of an addiction.For these reasons, the aim of our work is to shed light on some lesser-known, but no less widespread, areas in the panorama of addictions.We will present new substances recently marketed, new methods of taking already known substances and some chemical modifications that make the already known substances different for their psychoactive characteristics.

We will then focus on behavioral addictions such as gambling in its online mode and sex addiction.Finally, we will conclude with some reflections related to treatment that can help the therapist to hypothesize a specific intervention path or that can be integrated within clinical practice.
