Why Hoard?
Often there are multiple issues that come together to create hoarding, an over-accumulation of possessions, which negatively impacts life. Having a collection of items does not necessarily indicate a hoarding problem if the collection is manageable both physically (space, ability to care for properly) and financially (not part of unplanned compulsive spending patterns). Hoarding is a situation where possessions become overwhelming to manage physically, cause distress, are a safety hazard, interfere with living, cause financial problems or relational problems.
This is the first book to adapt clinically-effective cognitive behavioral techniques specifically to the treatment of checking, the most common form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
