Cognitive behavioral therapy

The CBT focuses on cognitive restructuring to reduce the specific key maladaptive beliefs on Internet gaming suggested by King's model, and develop useful coping skills (self-regulation/control, emotion regulation, problem-solving coping) that are adapted from previous CBT for adolescent IGD. In addition, it provides training on relapse-prevention and maintenance techniques.
