Combining aesthetic and psychological approaches to TV series addiction

This text establishes, and then analyses, the interrelation between series and dependence by focusing on two aspects of their connection: the overconsumption of TV series, and the production devices that lead to it.

Due to its two-sided nature, the volume brings together specialists from different backgrounds.

On the one hand, it involves people working with addiction, such as psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers, whose analytical tools and statistics are extremely useful in assessing the prevalence of TV series addiction, as well as its consequences, in order to make sense of its mechanics.

For similar reasons, the authors also include professionals working with children and teenagers, since youths under 18 are largely affected by addictive tendencies.
