Discarding Vs CBT
The last approach to treating hoarding is taking the pharmacotherapy route, which involves serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRI). This is usually unsuccessful because medication isn’t going to automatically change the mindset of feeling the need to keep countless items with no value.

    Pros And Cons Of Hoarding

    When the average person think of the word hoarding, they think of a house filled with trash, newspapers, and canned foods or of a yard filled with junk and/or animals. What the average person does not automatically think of are corporations stockpiling their cash. Corporate cash hoarding is real and it is a common practice of some of the top corporations in the United States. As the focus shifts to corporate hoarding, the images shift in the mind of the average person as well. Images such as, CEOs stashing cash under their mattresses, offshore bank vaults filled with millions of dollars or a barge carrying gold bars on its way to a foreign country.…

    CBT and RBT simillarities

    CBT and REBT share some similarities, they both rely in reality testing, and it is described as a highly organized process in the therapy process. Both approaches perceive human nature as series of past experiences shaping the level those clients may misconstrue versions of reality (Corey, 2013, p.305). The main goal for both approaches is centered in therapeutic change for the client as a result of the therapist interaction.…

    Hoarding Research Paper

    Until a few years ago, a lady who was known to collect cats would have been called “the crazy cat lady.” Houses that were filled with endless amounts of stuff were referred to as “cluttered, filthy, or a pen sty.” As of today, those expressions have been replaced with the coined terms: “hoarder or compulsive hoarding.” What is hoarding? “Compulsive hoarding is a specific type of behavior marked by acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others, severe cluttering of the person's home so that it is no longer able to function as a viable living space, and significant distress or impairment of work or social life (Kelly Owen).” In addition to obtaining excessive amounts of items, many people with compulsive hoarding often have difficulties keeping these inanimate objects organized. Hoarders tend to pile up stuff which in turn leads to disorganization; which therefore adds another aspect into why hoarders are unwilling to throw stuff away. Furthermore, this paper seeks to address the importance surrounding the disorder, hoarding. Compulsive hoarding causes health problems, and can terminate a person’s overall lifestyle. In particular, I will be shedding light on what it’s like in the life of a hoarder, how the mental illness affects individuals, and what causes a person to hoard.…

    Laurie Schutza’s essay, “The Pack Rat Among Us” gives the readers a view of what a hoarder is like physically and mentally. A hoarder is a person who gets too attached to personal items that he/she cannot get rid of over the course of their lifetime. This causes the hoarders to have stacks of random things that must people would have disposed of. “Hoarders tend to keep what many may consider useless items such as empty food containers or cardboard boxes” (Schutza 306).…

    Hoarding Research Paper

    In 2013, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) was re-written to classify hoarding as a mental disorder in its own right. While Hoarding is an “apparent” disability, a landlord may still requests a letter from a doctor- although courts have accepted a letter from a tenant’s attorney as sufficient to request an RA (Douglas v. Kriegsfeld Corp, 884 A.2d 1109 (D.C. App. 2005). (Douglas, an important case for recognizing the rights afforded to the disabled as extending to hoarders, is the most relevant case I could find of Hoarding being afforded legal protections, and is cited in a 2011 Rutgers Law Review article discussing the legal framework for RA’s for…

    Compulsive Hoarding On The Homeless

    Compulsive hoarding is the impulse to hold onto unnecessary items due to the idea that they hold some sort of emotional value. It is a severe problem that affects the United States and it can lead people to awful and unfortunate situations such as illness and even homelessness. Studies have shown that one in four people are hoarders with the leading causes being depression or loss of a loved one. It is also apparent that a large amount of the homeless population was evicted from their housing due to it being condemned from hoarding. For instance, my neighbor Sheila was evicted from her house due to her unfortunate hoarding problem and is now what society considers as homeless.…
