DISRUPTION OF PERSONAL IDENTITY FORMED ON THE BASIS OF INTERNET ADDICTION AND PSYCHOTHERAPEUTIC APPROACHES TO MODERN MOWGLI SYNDROME
Keywords:
Internet addiction, personal identity disruption, Modern Mowgli SyndromeAbstract
This article explores the psychological disruption of personal identity caused by chronic internet addiction and its correlation with the emergence of the so-called "Modern Mowgli Syndrome"—a psychosocial condition characterized by detachment from societal norms, emotional isolation, and impaired self-concept development. Drawing on interdisciplinary research in clinical psychology, neurocognition, and digital behavioral studies, the paper analyzes how persistent virtual immersion distorts identity formation processes, especially among youth, leading to developmental stagnation, dissociative tendencies, and maladaptive social behaviors. Furthermore, the study critically evaluates current psychotherapeutic approaches—including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), schema-focused therapy, and integrative digital detox programs—aimed at restoring identity coherence and reintegrating individuals into real-world social structures. The research underlines the urgent need for preventive mental health strategies and therapeutic innovations adapted to the realities of digital-age psychopathology.
