Compulsive hoarding is a complex disorder. This book provides
basics about the disorder for professional organizers, social
workers, community agencies, mental health practitioners, law
enforcement and anyone who encounters people who hoard. You'll
learn the psychological underpinnings and the organizational
challenges of people who acquire and save so excessively that they
undermine the health, safety and comfort of their own home. This is
a hopeful book that examines creative collaborative approaches
including combinations of organizing and therapy, self-help
efforts, support groups and other means for making a difference in
the life of a person who hoards. The Foreword is written by Dr.
David Tolin, a leading authority on the topic. The author is Judith
Kolberg, the founder of the National Study Group on Chronic
Disorganization. If you work with, love or are a person who hoards,
this book is for you.
