Description

Addictions are as various and as complex as are human beings and their natures. We all have ‘our own poison’ as they say. When gaming becomes an addiction, it can wield wrath. Servane Barrault is a clinical psychologist and PhD lecturer at the University ‘François Rabelas’ in Tours. She is also a research professor and analyses the risks involved in addictive behaviour, based mainly on behavioral addictions. Having written many articles on the subject, she is presently researching on the behaviour of online players and also the motivation processes, emotional and cognitive, on people who play for chance and money. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
