Overview
In his therapy office, Kriss looks at videogames as a window into the mind. Is his patient Liz really āaddictedā to Candy Crushāor is she evading a deeper problem? Why would aspiring model Patricia craft a hideous avatar named āPatā? And when Jack immerses himself in Mass Effect, is he eroding his social skillsāor honing them via relationship-building gameplay?
Weaving together Krissās personal history, patientsā experiences, and professional insightāand without shying away from complex subjects, such as online harassmentāThe Gaming Mind disrupts our assumptions about āgamersā and explores how gaming can be good for us. It offers guidance for parents, clinicians, and the rest of us to better understand the gaming mind. Like any mode of play, at their best, videogames reveal who we areāand what we want from our lives.
