Brief summary
The proposed study aims to investigate the efficacy of a facilitated self-help group for the treatment of hoarding disorder. Eligible participants will take part in a facilitated self-help group. The investigators aim to investigate the effects of a self-help group on hoarding symptoms. The investigators hypothesize that participants will demonstrate decreased hoarding symptoms over time.
Interventions
OTHERSelf-Help Group
The facilitated self-help group may last approximately 13 sessions. This treatment represents an empirically supported intervention for hoarding (Frost et al., 2011), based on a Facilitator's Manual (Maxner et al., 2010), which is a treatment manual based on the book Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding (Tolin, Frost, \& Steketee, 2007).
