Abstract

Internet gaming disorder (IGD) is a complicated behavioral and mental disorder. IGD is suggested as a one of the addictive disorders, also, it has unique characteristic features. Because of the bio-psycho-social model of addiction, IGD is part of a wide spectrum of comorbid psychiatric conditions and socio-cultural contexts. Based on previous qualitative studies, we can define the intervention strategy based on the severity of the client’s addiction and characteristics of the problem. Therefore, we developed a multidimensional assessment protocol entitled K-PPC (Korean Patient Placement Criteria) for IGD and a tailored individual intervention approach entitled STEP (Stepped Tailored Empowerment Program) based on the concept proposed by the ASAM PPC (American Society of Addiction Medicine) model designed to help those who abuse alcohol and the Stepped model for addiction disorders. The K-PPC Assessment protocol is composed of 4 domains; internet game use behaviors, concurrent psychiatric problems, motivation, and the environmental factors affecting recovery and relapse. The STEP intervention matrix was composed of the severity of the addiction (basic and intensive) and concurrent psychiatric problems (introversion and extroversion). The treatment program was developed using information taken from evidence-based programs like cognitive behavioral treatment and motivational interviewing. The periods of the basic and intensive intervention are 8 weeks and 16 weeks, respectively. Because of the tailored approach of STEP, it is hypothesized that outcomes will be better compared to those in people treated with the current standard of care.
