Abstract

The analysis of this topic, now central to scientific reflections on an international scale, is part of a requirement to produce appropriate therapeutic responses. Given the magnitude of the detrimental effects of digital technology on youth, particularly in terms of social deviance, it becomes imperative to define multidisciplinary therapeutic orientations. These approaches aim to strengthen the adaptive capacities of young people and to propose support mechanisms likely to limit the negative impacts associated with this digital transformation.
