Integration, emotional containment, and identity formation are the central psychological and psychomotoric tasks of adolescence.

These skills are compromised in those who have experience of childhood abuse and neglect, who have difficulty finding healthy groups and peers, who encounter health challenges (such as smoking nicotine or marijuana), and who are otherwise compromised by parenting and/or environment.

Technology addictions (like other addictions) promise but do not deliver integration, containment, and identity formation (IronMan).
