Hoarding involves the acquisition of and inability to discard large
numbers of possessions that clutter the living area of the person
collecting them. It becomes a disorder when the behavior causes
significant distress or interferes with functioning. Hoarding can
interfere with activities of daily living (such as being able to
sit in chairs or sleep in a bed), work efficiency, family
relationships, as well as health and safety. Hoarding behavior can
range from mild to life-threatening. Epidemiological findings
suggest that hoarding occurs in 2-6% of the adult population,
making it two to three times more common than obsessive-compulsive
disorder. The fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) now includes Hoarding Disorder
as a distinct disorder within the OCD and Related Anxiety Disorders
section, creating a demand for information about it. The Oxford
Handbook of Hoarding and Acquiring is the first volume to detail
the empirical research on hoarding. Including contributions from
all of the leading researchers in the field, this comprehensive
volume is divided into four sections in addition to introductory
and concluding chapters by the editors: Phenomenology,
Epidemiology, and Diagnosis; Etiology; Assessment and Intervention;
and Hoarding in Special Populations. The summaries of research and
clinical interventions contained here clarify the emotional and
behavioral features, diagnostic challenges, and nature of the
treatment interventions for this new disorder. This handbook will
be a critical resource for both practitioners and researchers,
including psychiatrists, psychologists, neurologists,
epidemiologists, social workers, occupational therapists, and other
health and mental health professionals who encounter clients with
hoarding problems in their practice and research.
