our mission
The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction (CITA) serves as one of the world’s preeminent resources for neurobiological and psychological research into Internet and technology addiction, dependency, and abuse. Founded by renowned cyber psychologist Dr. David Greenfield, a pioneer concerning compulsive and addictive use who led the first large scale study of Internet use in 1999 with ABC News, CITA sets out to treat patients, train medical professionals on how to diagnosis and treat problematic tech use, and educate the public-at-large through talks, resource development, and appearing in a wide variety of major media outlets (CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox, Time, NPR).
The mission of the Center for Internet and Technology Addiction is to create a new normal concerning our relationship with technology. Instead of simply eschewing technology, CITA is dedicated to practical action-based solutions that recognize the value and potential with technology while also allowing people to plug back into life.
The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction has three major areas of focus: treatment, research, and education.
