Self-Help Group
The facilitated self-help group may last approximately 13 sessions. This treatment represents an empirically supported intervention for hoarding (Frost et al., 2011), based on a Facilitator's Manual (Maxner et al., 2010), which is a treatment manual based on the book Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding (Tolin, Frost, \& Steketee, 2007).
