The track co-produced by the International Society for the Study of Behavioral Addictions (ISSBA) addresses the growing interest in the study of behavioral (i.e. non-substance- related) addictions. These include gambling, problematic video game use, internet addiction and compulsive buying. The track will introduce these disorders (including their phenomenology, etiology, assessment, epidemiology) and discuss the main issues emerging in connection with these phenomena.
