Hilary Cash, a therapist based in Washington华盛顿州, first treated給予治療 an Internet-obsessed著迷 patient six years ago; this makes her a veteran資深 in the new field of cyberpsychology網絡心理學.

Now she runs a clinic called Internet Computer Addiction Services for Web over-users. Many of her clients would qualify有資格 as genuine真正的 compulsives強迫性: men and women who spend so much time visiting chat rooms and porn sites that they become moody喜怒無常 and secretive, stop sleeping, ignore their jobs and other responsibilities, lie to their loved ones, and lose interest in sex.

If research presented表達 to the American Psychological Association美国心理学会 last year is correct, 6 percent of Internet users fit in this category種類. It may look like many of the clinic’s clients are normal people who spend more time than their mates朋友 would like researching their family tree.

Yet, to Cash and a growing number of experts, this type of computer habit is not without its potential dangers, especially for relationships.

Researcher John Gottman of the University of Washington has found that marriages are more likely to be successful if partners spend at least six hours a week talking about day-to-day issues, dining out到餐館吃晚飯, and just doing couples of things.

“That may only be five minutes at one time, half an hour at another, and a date once a week,” says Cash. “But once that critical time is lost, couples start to disconnect.”
