  abstract: The cat lady. The couple who won't let anyone in their apartment. The old man with all that junk in his yard.

Guidelines for navigating the ethical and legal issues that arise in assisting people who hoard. Readings, links, and other resources. With its practical common-sense approach to a complex problem, Clinician's Guide to Severe Hoarding is a unique volume not only for mental health practitioners, but also other pro…
