Dr. Anthony Centore, Therapist at Thrive Boston Counseling, was quoted this week in Northeastern University’s newspaper: The Huntington News.
The article was titled, Video game use may strain relations, and addressed the question of whether one’s use of video games could harm their social and interpersonal relationships.
Here is an excerpt that includes Dr. Centore’s published comments:
…The study found mostly negative results, but gaming can have positive effects, Anthony Centore, a relationship counselor at Thrive Boston Counseling and Psychotherapy Center, said.
“If people are using video games with others it could be positive, it would be recreational,” Centore said. “But people who are fixated on video games are isolating themselves.”
However, Centore said he worked with couples who have used video games as a means of bonding.
“For some couples, it can become a positive in their relationship,” he said.
