Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things

So yeah, there are tv shows about hoarders, but what's actually going on there? This book is by the first scientists to study hoarding as a mental health issue. What they found is that it's incredibly widespread. The result of a decade of research, this book explores hoarding through vivid case studies of the people for whom "stuff" has become a terrible burden.
