From Library Journal

Many people have heard or read of the scientific study that links Internet use to depression. This book expands on that notion, attempting to place Internet use in the context of a "paranoid society" beset by increasing personal isolation, bewildering technology, and end-of-the-millennium pressures. Civin, a professor at Adelphi University and a practicing psychoanalyst, uses a number of case studies to illustrate his belief that the Internet serves different functions for different users. On the one hand, he suggests, it can serve as a means of connectedness, facilitating complex exchanges among the self and others. On the other hand, it can insulate the user from meaningful contact with others, providing only one-dimensional exchanges that simulate or substitute for real, full relationships. Civin's ideas--which combine case studies with postmodern theory, personal experiences, and different branches of psychological thought--are well presented. Throughout, he explains the somewhat dauntingly academic language, making this book fascinating reading for anyone with a passing interest in both technology and psychology. Recommended for academic and larger public libraries.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Applied psychology for the Internet Age, Sep 5 2000
Par Margaret M. Hvatum (St. Louis, MO USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I found this book to be of immediate use in my business life. It helped me to understand some previously inexplicable and troubling behaviors I had encountered among both managers and users of Information Systems.

The author is a trained Freudian analyst, who has applied his skills as a PhD in psychology to many business settings, as well as to treating patients in an office setting.

The book deals with two major issues: 1) Why some people benefit from chat rooms while others become hooked on the internet. 2) Why corporate users and managers sometimes have very negative reactions to successful technology projects. As an academician who spent 20 years in Corporate I.S. before becoming a professor, I have always wondered why very successful I.S. projects are sometimes so badly received. Dr. Civin's insights have helped me understand some otherwise painful behavior I have encountered in the past.

I have immediately begun using some of the author's insights in human behavior in my own teaching of Systems Analysis and Project Management.

The only downside of this book is that it is very heavily laden with technical psychology language and terms. Readers will find the language easier if they, too, have some background or training in psychology.
