Description After a brief overview of the addictive behaviour on the Internet phenomenon is presented a case study of a client who attended three-year psychotherapy. During the treatment schizoid dynamic in the form of withdrawing from problematic situations to his inner world emerged underneath the Internet addiction, due to the temperament and his childhood experiences. Playing online games offered him a safe place from the tension that has been invoked by feelings of incompetence, which he primarily experienced in social situations. In the discussion, the data obtained from a case study are compared to the results of research on Internet addiction. The nature of the problem itself, research findings and client's case suggests that Internet addiction could be more frequent among people with schizoid personality.
