摘要
Controversy continues concerning the harmfulness of video game use by children. The author encountered clearly pathological preoccupation with video games in a preadolescent. The child had stolen, forged checks, and skipped school to continue using video games. He and his mother were physically abused by his father. Placement of the child in a residential treatment center with marital and family therapy resulted in resolution of the patient's pathological use of video games. © 1990, The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.
