The New Media Epidemic The Undermining of Society, Family, and Our Own Soul

Dr. Jean-Claude Larchet, renowned for his examinations of the causes and consequences of spiritual and physical illness, tackles the pressing question of the societal and personal effects of our societal use of new media. The definition of new media is broad—from radio to smart phones—and the analysis of their impact is honest and straightforward. His meticulous diagnosis of their effects concludes with a discussion of the ways individuals might limit and counteract the most deleterious effects of this new epidemic.

Jean-Claude Larchet holds a PhD from the University of Strasbourg, and is the author of Therapy of Spiritual Illness. Andrew A.
