Hoarding Disorder
Accounts of hoarding behaviors have appeared in literature, as far back as 319 B.C.E. in the writings of Aristotle's student Theophrastus; in the news, like New York's infamous Collyer brothers in the 1940s; and more recently in popular reality television series.
But it wasn't until the publication of DSM-5 in 2013 that hoarding was classified as a disorder in its own right rather than as a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder or obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. In this single source, readers can access the most up-to-date comprehensive information on what is known about the disorder.
Drawing on the authors' own clinical experiences as well as the latest published research, Hoarding Disorder: A Comprehensive Clinical Guide examines key features of the disorder and treatment approaches, such as: • Phenomenology, including diagnosis, comorbidities, and assessment• Etiology, from both a cognitive-behavioral and a neurobiological perspective• Psychotherapeutic and pharmacological treatments, from cognitive-behavioral therapy, harm reduction strategies, and community approaches to the efficacy of specific drugs• Challenges, including working with elderly patients, managing cases of animal hoarding, and distinguishing and addressing squalor
Key points for each chapter and numerous case studies will help readers easily reference and retain information, and the appendices feature useful symptom rating scales that can be applied to practice.
For psychiatrists, psychologists, human service and other mental health professionals, peer support counselors, community advocates, and professionals in training, this invaluable book will improve the reader's knowledge and skill in treating patients with hoarding disorder, both those with straightforward presentations and those with complicated ones.

The Effect of Compulsive Hoarding Behavior on Consumers’ Two-Sided Responses
This study investigates the impact of general consumers’ compulsive hoarding behavior (CHB) on future behavioral responses and examines the moderating roles of reward type, hoarding pattern, and self-monitoring. To achieve this, we conducted an experimental survey based on a scenario. The findings reveal that consumers with high CHB exhibited lower altruistic disposal and higher purchase hiding compared to those with low CHB. Among high-CHB consumers, receiving social rewards for disposing of possessions led to increased altruistic disposal and reduced purchase hiding. In contrast, low-CHB consumers showed no significant differences based on reward type. The results also indicate that higher selective hoarding behavior among high-CHB consumers is associated with lower altruistic disposal and higher purchase hiding. Additionally, high-CHB consumers with greater self-monitoring tendencies demonstrated increased altruistic disposal and purchase hiding, whereas self-monitoring had no significant effect on low-CHB consumers. By focusing on general consumers rather than individuals with severe hoarding disorders, this study provides new insights into understanding CHB in everyday contexts. By exploring the causal relationships between CHB and related variables, the findings contribute to strategies aimed at mitigating compulsive hoarding behaviors and promoting responsible consumption patterns.

Influence of perceived threat of Covid-19 and HEXACO personality traits on toilet paper stockpiling
Following the fast spread of Covid-19 across Europe and North America in March 2020, many people started stockpiling commodities like toilet paper. Despite the high relevance for public authorities to adequately address stockpiling behavior, empirical studies on the psychological underpinnings of toilet paper stockpiling are still scarce. In this study, we investigated the relation between personality traits, perceived threat of Covid-19, and stockpiling of toilet paper in an online survey (N = 996) across 22 countries. Results suggest that people who felt more threatened by Covid-19 stockpiled more toilet paper. Further, a predisposition towards Emotionality predicted the perceived threat of Covid-19 and affected stockpiling behavior indirectly. Finally, Conscientiousness was related to toilet paper stockpiling, such that individuals higher in Conscientiousness tended to stockpile more toilet paper. These results emphasize the importance of clear communication by public authorities acknowledging anxiety and, at the same time, transmitting a sense of control.
