Description
In Facehooked: How Facebook Affects Our Emotions, Relationships, and Lives, Dr. Suzana Flores explores the worldwide phenomenon of “likes,” “dislikes,” and the complex universe that is Facebook. This groundbreaking book addresses the alarming increase psychologists have seen in Facebook related complaints from their clients, and will change the way the 128 million Facebook users in the United States view their online interactions.
Facehooked: How Facebook Affects Our Emotions, Relationships, and Lives gives an in-depth look at the eight problems most commonly found on Facebook, and provides readers with practical tools and activities to help identify and avoid unhealthy behaviors. These controversial topics include self-esteem, privacy, peer pressure, emotional manipulation, stalking, and others. Facehooked isn’t composed of dry studies and numbers; it’s an insight into the emotional aspects of the cyber world, livened by Flores’ quick wit and playful personality, with more than a dozen real case histories.
As a social-media expert and commentator, Dr. Flores has appeared on national and international newscasts, podcasts, radio and talk shows including "Leiberman Live" on The Howard Stern Network, PBS, WCIU Channel - "The U," National Public Radio (NPR), "Just Jenny" Sirius XM Channel, WGN Radio Chicago, The ManCow Show, Univision Television News, Mundo FOX, Charlotte News WSOC-TV, and radio broadcasts out of Germany, U.K. and Canada.

Advance Praise
“FaceHooked is a provocative analysis of how social media has impacted the social structure of human relationships, self-awareness and behavioral addictions. Author Dr. Flores has been able to humanize the issue for the reader through real-life scenarios that highlight the depth of impact Facebook can have on a personal and social level. This read is one that every smartphone and social-media user can identify with, and should heed as a cautionary reminder of our own behaviors.”—Christina Montes Scott, publisher for TeleGuia Magazine.
“When I began reading Facehooked, I couldn’t put it down! The timing of this publication and the contribution of her social research could not be more relevant now, more than ever before, regarding how much of an impact social media plays in our everyday lives. Regardless, whether one sees it as a blessing in disguise, a therapeutic fix, as something intrusive or addictive, it is here to stay. We are all, whether we like it or not, FACEHOOKED!” —Joseph A. Davis, Ph.D., contributing author at Psychology Today Magazine
