Abstract

The development of Information and Communication Technology (CIT) has given rise to research on addictions to the Internet, videogames and mobile phones and their treatment. The objective of this study is to apply a program of psychotherapeutical treatment for CIT addiction (PIPATIC) and to evaluate its effectiveness via a single case study of a patient with a dual pathology: Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The results are encouraging and display positive changes: a significant reduction in the time spent on games, an increase in self-control and a reduction in overall symptomology and in the symptoms related to OCD.
