An estimated 1 in 40 adults has experienced problematic hoarding, yet there are few resources dedicated to understanding and supporting individuals with Hoarding Disorder. This book provides practitioners with valuable practical guidance on how to help those affected by extreme clutter, chronic disorganization, and hoarding. Encouraging a person-centered approach and including case studies throughout, it introduces the DESIRE method, combining research, evidence-based treatments, and strategies for assessing hoarding situations and deciding on the best course of action. Through understanding individual cases, co-occurring health conditions, vulnerabilities, cognitive function, and the home environment, this book offers a blueprint of practical techniques to support individuals in making lasting changes and living healthier lives.
