Without the benefit of watching reality shows on hoarding, I thought Stuff was an informative introduction to this fascinating topic. Since its strength lies in its in-depth case studies which compassionately highlight the thought processes of actual patients, it reads likes a solo work by the first author, Randy Frost, who did most of the field work. However, I wish there was a more technical discussion of available treatments for this obsessive-compulsive disorder spectrum disorder. Nonetheless, it was a compelling read.

My mom just gave me this book. My wife and I are currently going through a divorce and she was a hoarder. She certainly wasn't as extreme as some of the people in this book, but it was great to read so many lines that just really hit home to me and the life I had to live for years.
