Accounts of hoarding behaviors have appeared in literature as far back as 319 B.C.E. 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 source, readers can access the most up-to-date comprehensive information on what is known about the disorder. This text is an essential tool for psychiatrists, psychologists, human service and other mental health professionals and professionals in training.
