It’s a glimpse into the lives and houses of others, and especially interesting to see how personalities play out with respect to how much junk they have. This week’s featured title looks at the people that just have too much stuff.<\/p>\n While Hoarders<\/a><\/em> has brought hoarding to the general public for five seasons, Frost and Steketee have been studying it for over twenty years. They have put their knowledge together in this book, which details compulsive hoarding, a disorder that affects more than an estimated six million people. The pair use case studies to explain the facets of what compels individuals to attach emotions and feelings to objects.

If you want to learn more about it, they also conveniently list their references for further research. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things by Randy Frost & Gail Steketee RC533 .F76 2010 New Arrivals, 2nd floor Back when I had cable, I was a big fan of the design shows.
