This workshop reviews common hoarding disorder (HD) features and likely causal factors, as well as the chief distinctions between HD and related disorders (e.g., OCD, major depression) to clarify diagnoses and treatment decisions. Presenters will provde a model for understanding HD and methods of assessment. Cognitive and behavioral methods for treating hoarding will be discussed, including motivation enhancement, skills training, cognitive strategies, and behavioral practice.
Workshop participants will be invited to interact with the presenters and each other while applying specific treatment skills to address hoarding behaviors. Experiential activities will include motivational enhancement, case formulation and goal setting, organizing and problem solving skills, changing beliefs about possessions, and removing clutter. Presenters will also discuss the roles of in-home supports and additional community resources for addressing hoarding.
This workshop will discuss the treatment of Hoarding Disorder (HD) from the patient’s perspective. Patients with HD will talk about their experiences with hoarding and with treatment. In addition, a family member will discuss her experience watching a loved struggle with hoarding, and then go through treatment. These inspiring people bring stories of hope and clarity to individuals with HD, and their loved ones. A panel discussion will follow whereby audience members can ask questions of each presenter.
This panel focuses on adapting cognitive-behavioral treatment interventions for Hoarding Disorder for clinical work with two specific populations: youth and those with impaired executive functioning. This panel provides an overview of existing research on hoarding as it relates to these populations. The presenters will address challenges, treatment implications, and therapeutic strategies. Case examples highlight challenges and the application of modified CBT for more effective interventions. Our goal is to inspire discussion amongst professionals on research-informed adaptions of CBT interventions for working with a range of hoarding clients.
This workshop will focus on recent developments in the treatment of hoarding. Topics include the Buried in Treasures (BIT) Workshop, a “critical time intervention” plus BIT for individuals at risk for eviction, medications, and treating late life hoarding. Participants will learn how traditional CBT compares with the BIT workshop, what medications show promise for treating hoarding, how CBT can be adapted to treat late life hoarding problems, and how a critical time intervention can be paired with BIT workshops for people at risk for eviction because of their hoarding.
