Compulsive Hoarding and
Acquiring: Workbook
Gail Steketee and Randy O. Frost
0-19-531055-1, Paperback, November 2006
Oxford University Press
Although most people enjoy acquiring and
using their possessions and nearly everyone
keeps some things they don’t need or use, people with compulsive hoarding carry
this to
an extreme. For them, ridding themselves of extra possessions is emotionally
exhausting.
Organizing is difficult and resisting the impulse to acquire new things is
almost impossible.
This book represents more than a decade of research and practice to understand
hoarding
and develop an effective treatment program that address its many components.
Used in conjunction with the treatment described in the therapist guide, this
workbook
teaches people how to minimize the negative effect clutter has on their lives,
as well as
the lives of those close to them. Using effective and practical techniques and
skills, this
program helps people get used to the idea of sorting, organizing, and gradually
removing
their unwanted possessions. People who hoard tend to overvalue the importance of
the things
they own and keep. This book will also help people to recognize errors in their
thinking and
modify their thoughts and beliefs to more accurately reflect the value of their
belongings.
Worksheets for developing a personal organization plan and determining
categories for filing
are also included in this interactive, easy-to-use workbook. With these books,
users can be
active participants who successfully overcome their compulsive hoarding.

themselves. Now Dr.

sufferers, their families,

issue.
