Course Brief
There are 3.2 billion gamers worldwide Today, more people have access to, and are participating in, gaming activities than ever before. While many can enjoy video games without developing any consequences, there are a proportion of those who stray from responsible levels of play, to areas of problematic or disordered video gaming. These concerns continue to challenge Singapore communities too. Knowing how video gaming can convert from leisure to problematic is key to helping prevent this from occurring and to know how to clinically assess and treat gaming disorder. Those who often progress to problematic or disordered gaming get to a point where several areas of their lives are impacted in a negative way. Considering this, it is vital to have clinical tools to capably treat those who are experiencing gaming disorder or problematic gaming.

This will include: screening, assessment, intervention, and treatment. We will discuss how to apply best evidenced based treatments into practice scenarios. Furthermore the accompanying manual will provide guidance on how to clinically apply these approaches when work with clients that have a diagnosis of gaming disorder or problematic gaming The manual will also: 1) Foster awareness of the facts and clinical features of gaming disorder and the continuum of gaming behaviors 2) Describe the psychological, physiological, social, and environmental issues and beliefs associated with gaming and gaming disorder 3) Identify co-occurring mental health issues to be aware of and screen for at intake/initial session 4) Identify valid screening measures to assess for gaming disorder 5) Discuss how to utilize evidence-based treatment models for treating gaming disorder or problematic gaming 6) Apply evidenced based treatments into practice scenarios and provide examples of direct application when using this approach for clients with gaming disorder or problematic gaming.
