Self-Help Organization
While most people find it relatively easy to manage their
possessions, some find it extremely difficult. If you have a
problem resisting the urge to acquire and you find your home
cluttered and filled to capacity with items many people
would find useless and unnecessary, you may suffer from a
condition known as hoarding disorder. Hoarding is a behavioral problem consisting of clutter,
difficulty discarding items, and excessive buying or
acquiring. Hoarding is often associated with significant
reduction in quality of life, and in extreme cases, it can
pose serious health risks. If you or a loved one has
hoarding disorder, this book can help. This fully updated Second Edition of Buried in Treasures
outlines a scientifically based, effective program for
helping those with hoarding disorder dig their way out of
the clutter and chaos of their homes. Written by scientists
and practioners who are leaders in studying and treating
hoarding disorder, this book outlines a program of
skill-building, learning to think about possessions in a
different way, and gradual challenges to help people manage
their clutter and their lives. It also provides useful
information for family and friends of people who hoard, as
they struggle to understand and help. Discover the reasons for your problems with acquiring,
saving, and hoarding, and learn new ways of thinking about
your possessions so you can decide what you really need and
what you can do without. Learn to identify the "bad guys"
that cause and maintain your hoarding behavior and meet the
"good guys" who can help motivate you and put you on the
path to change. Useful self-assessments will help you
determine the severity of your problem. Training exercises,
case examples, organizing tips, and motivation boosters help
change the way you think and behave toward your possessions.
This book provides easy-to-understand strategies and
techniques that anyone can use.
