The paper considers the issue of interventions for internet addiction in adolescents. We analyzed the main risk factors of internet addiction yielded from the empirical data and distinguished between two groups of internet-addicted adolescents with dominating biological or psychological risk factors. An intervention program for internet-addicted adolescents based on this data was developed and carried out. We compared the efficacy of the intervention and communicative skills training. The results prove the significance of primary neuropsychological diagnostics and the necessity of neuropsychological correction in interventions for internet-addicted adolescents. We propose a scheme for sorting the participants in correction groups according to different risk factors of internet addiction.
