He is a member of Centre of Psychoanalysis Research, Medicine and Society at Université Paris VII (CRPMS).

He studies the relationships between youth, the media and images and the effect of information and communication technology on young people.

He has written approximately forty books, including instructive works for parents, that were translated into several languages.

Tisseron delivered his thesis in the form of a comic strip, denouncing what he considered to be that era's "medical sadism".

Another aim of his thesis was to demonstrate that images are part of the world's symbolism as much as written and spoken languages.

[5][6] Its objective is to contribute to a memory and a "culture" of risk through the establishment of a bank of evidence to support the resilience of present and future generations.

In 2008, Tisseron published an updated version of "Camera Lucida" by Roland Barthes, "Les mystères de la chambre claire".

[14] In 2013, he promoted a web site[15] with the General Secretariat of Catholic Education to explain parents and children how to "tame" screens.

He worked on a project called «Dizaine pour apprivoiser les écrans» that was inspired by the Student Media Awareness to Reduce Television program in 1996-1997 by Robinson's team in California.

It proposed that over ten days or a week, kids be invited to choose their favorite TV programs and video games and give up all others.

Meanwhile, parents and instructors organize and lead other activities including focusing on photography and world building to encourage them to develop their own imagination.

Conversely others, including predators, may conceal their own identities in order to engage with those who fail to recognize the deception.

The intermittent and deliberate nature of digital interactions give participants greater control over the pace and timing of their relationships.

Self-pacing, the chance to repeat an unsuccessful lesson or test, experiments with various learning strategies, point systems, levels and anonymity can all inform online education development.

[21] Tussore advises that parents should frequently speak with their children, including about their digital experiences and be aware of their activities.

Tissoren used a separate meaning,[24] to describe the repositioning of elements of private lives into public view to produce feedback.

It differs from both exhibitionism and conformism in that it is an attempt to develop the self and the concordant self-esteem rather than simply position the exhibitor with respect to others.

They noticed that patients could project their fantasies on other subjects, introject good objects or internalise intersubjective relationships.

Tisseron said that all stress is mediated by the seven senses (including proprioception and vestibular perception) coupled with non- and verbal communication.

He claimed that the objectivity sought by earlier generations worsened patient discomfort without advancing therapeutic goals.

[35] On 6 November 2013 Serge Tisseron received an "Award for outstanding Achievement" from the FOSI (Family Online Safety Institute) for his work on teenagers and internet, and especially for the "3-6-9-12" campaign he launched.

[22] Tisseron presented at many conferences across the world on topics such as children development, family and culture, consumerism, democracy and new technologies, such as web dependency.
