Summary: didn't know I have OCD-thought I was just an "accumulator"
Comment: First time ever to see a psychologist. She recommended this book. IT IS a TREASURE!! Some of the exercises are hard to do, but they sure open "doors" I didn't know I HAD!! A collector collects thing of VALUE; an accumulator saves EVERYTHING--Just In Case!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Help for hoarders!
Comment: I found this book to be insightful and very helpful. It asks the hard questions, and makes one honestly take stock of their addiction. The exercises at the end of each chapter are to the point and are great tools to help in this endeavor. Chapters on change give realistic approaches to dealing with the problems encountered when beginning the process.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Comprehensive Guide
Comment: Well researched and professionally presented. I don't feel it's the complete answer for recovery from this obsessive-compulsory behavior; but it would be helpful in conjunction with other supports.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Very Little and Poorly Padded
Comment: First, there is so much more to say about the topic of hoarding and how to overcome it. The book could have been better if it had contained more text and fewer blank pages disguising themselves as workbook pages. Anybody, not only a hoarder, certainly has their own blank paper around to house that they could use as worksheets. The publisher does not need to provide it for us and charge for it.
Secondly, the book says what it has to say then repeats virtually all the same things!
Third (thirdly?) the person who needs this book either won't buy it, or she'll get it then lose it.
Nevertheless, it was fun reading about myself. The authors apparently got inside my head and spilled all my secrets. Yes, the book helped a little, but it should either be much more concise or it should contain more information. Taking a small amount of helpful material and padding it to fill out a book is a sham and waste of the consumer's money.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Original Insights
Comment: I've read a lot of books about getting organized--enough to stop. This book was recommended on the NACBT forum and I found it to be very worthwhile reading.
