DescriptionHoarding Disorder has only recently been officially recognized as a disorder in the DSM-5 (2013).  Given this, few mental health professionals have received training in what constitutes Hoarding Disorder and how to treat this challenging mental health issue.  This workshop will cover factors that contribute to the development of Hoarding Disorder.  The program will also focus on key components in the cognitive-behavioral treatment model and interventions developed by Steketee & Frost (2007), including video demonstrations.
