Stuff : compulsive hoarding and the meaning of things / by Frost, Randy O.(CARDINAL)671097; Steketee, Gail.(CARDINAL)369211;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 281-290).Randy Frost and Gail Steketee were the first to study hoarding when they began their work a decade ago; they expected to find a few sufferers but ended up treating hundreds of patients and fielding thousands of calls from the families of others. Now they explore the compulsion through a series of compelling case studies in the vein of Oliver Sacks.With vivid portraits that show us the traits by which you can identify a hoarder—piles on sofas and beds that make the furniture useless, houses that can be navigated only by following small paths called goat trails, vast piles of paper that the hoarders “churn” but never discard, even collections of animals and garbage—Frost and Steketee explain the causes and outline the often ineffective treatments for the disorder.They also illuminate the pull that possessions exert on all of us. Whether we’re savers, collectors, or compulsive cleaners, none of us is free of the impulses that drive hoarders to the extremes in which they live.

The pleasure of my company : a novel / by Martin, Steve,1945-(CARDINAL)135652;
Daniel resides in his Santa Monica apartment, living much of his life as a bystander: He watches from his window as the world goes by, and his only relationships seem to be with people who barely know he exists. He passes the time idly filling out contest applications, counting ceiling tiles, and estimating the wattage of light bulbs. It is through Daniel's growing attachment to Clarissa, and to Teddy, that he finally gains the courage to begin to engage the world outside, and in doing so, he discovers love, and life, in the most surprising places.

Conquering your state of anxiety : how to battle OCD and reclaim your life / by Pagacz, Kirsten,author.(CARDINAL)626407; Ralph, Stuart,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)863426;
"Receive practical and insightful anxiety relief and comfort from someone with first hand experience struggling with a specific type of OCD. Discover what anxiety looks like. Kirstin Pagacz tells the riveting story of how she discovered her disorder. By high school, she was anorexic and a substance abuser--common "shadow syndromes" of OCD. By adulthood she was holding onto jobs and friends through sheer grit. Help came in the form of a miraculously well-timed public service announcement on NPR about OCD--at last, her illness had an identity. Learn what anxiety feels like. "It's like the meanest, wildest monkey running around my head, constantly looking for ways to bite me." That was how Kirsten Pagacz described her OCD to her therapist. After learning how to conquer her specific type of OCD, Pagacz wants to share her insight with you in hopes that you banish those intrusive thoughts, conquer your anxiety, and live a better life. If you learned from guides like Anxious for Nothing, The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook, or The Anxiety and Worry Workbook, then you'll want to read Conquering Your State of Anxiety."--

Hoarding : what everyone needs to know / by Steketee, Gail,author.(CARDINAL)369211; Bratiotis, Christiana,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.What is hoarding and hoarding disorder? -- What are the common features of hoarding -- What re the neurocognitive features of hoarding? -- What is the impact of hoarding on sufferers, families, and communities -- How serious is the hoarding problem? -- Why do people hoard? -- What treatments work best for hoarding and acquiring? -- How can family members and other methods help with hoarding? -- How can communities help with hoarding? -- What are the next steps to understand and treat hoarding?"In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association determined that hoarding disorder (HD) is a diagnosable mental health condition. This disorder has been studied only in the past three decades, although information about this surprisingly common problem has been accumulating at a great rate in recent years. In fact, published papers about hoarding have increased from 3 during the first half of the 1990s to 319 in first half of the current decade (2010-2015). This increased rate of published research on hoarding has continued in the past few years. In Dr. Randy Frost and Dr. Tamara Hartl's seminal 1996 paper on the "compulsive hoarding" syndrome, the authors proposed an explanation as to why people hoarded objects in their homes. Remarkably, the information they provided and their explanation stand up well today, even after scores of studies have been conducted on the psychopathology and treatment of hoarding. No doubt this information will continue to be updated in the coming years, but it provides a sound basis for understanding this complex and very serious condition"--
