CBT for Hoarding Disorder: A Group THerapy Program (Wiley-Blackwell)
Comprised of a therapist manual and client workbook, CBT for Hoarding Disorder guides group leaders through a comprehensive CBT group program for patients struggling with hoarding disorder. Filling the need created by the inclusion of hoarding disorder (HD) as its own diagnosis in the DSM-5, this program—which was created by a group of four clinical psychologists experienced in research and treatment of problematic hoarding behavior—prioritizes experiential learning, repeated practice, skills building, and real-world discarding progress.
The therapist manual provides step-by-step, evidence-based guidance for treating hoarding with a focus on proven methods for behavior change rather than complex cognitive interventions. It contains the latest research on hoarding disorder and emphasizes the cognitive, emotional, and motivational factors involved in discarding and decision-making. The client workbook features accessible, straightforward content, including coping cards that summarize key lessons, homework assignments, motivational tools, and practice exercises for decision-making and emotion regulation skills. Easy to implement without home visits, this is a cutting-edge treatment program for professionals and group leaders of all educational backgrounds treating problematic hoarding behavior across a wide variety of treatment settings and disciplines.

THE OXFORD HANDBOOK OF OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE AND RELATED DISORDERS, SECOND EDITION (OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS)
With the publication of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM-5), much has changed about the conceptualization of obsessive-compulsive disorder and its associated spectrum conditions. Breaking free from the previous category of anxiety disorders, a new diagnostic category of "obsessive-compulsive and related disorders" (ORCDs) has emerged. This new categorization has provided an opportunity to enhance our understanding of these unique disorders and to address new research questions.
The second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders presents the latest information, from leaders in the field about the epidemiology, phenomenology, assessment, and treatment of ORCDs. The volume begins by reviewing the prevalence and profiles of obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, hoarding disorder, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), and excoriation (skin-picking) disorder. Chapter authors then discuss modern conceptualizations of the OCRDs, including neurocircuitry, genetic, behavioral, and cognitive models. From here, assessment strategies are reviewed, followed by state-of-the-science biological and psychological treatments, including pharmacotherapy, neurosurgical strategies, behavioral therapies, and cognitive therapies. Finally, the volume examines the presentation and treatment of OCRDs across cultures as well as in special populations including children and older adults.
SCIENCE-BASED THERAPY: RAISING THE BAR FOR EMPIRICALLY SUPPORTED TREATMENTS
This is the first book to analyze empirically supported treatments by using the newest criteria from the American Psychological Association's Society of Clinical Psychology, Division 12. Clinicians, scholars, and students all need to stay updated on the treatment research, and this book goes beyond providing updated treatment information by pointing readers to other useful treatment manuals and websites for continuing to stay up-to-date. The chapters, all written by prominent experts, highlight the best available evidence for specific disorders by breaking treatments down into credible components. With an emphasis on treatments for adults, chapters also share information about treatments for youth. Other variables that influence treatment are discussed, including assessment, comorbidity, demographics, and medication. Each chapter also corresponds with a chapter in the companion book, Pseudoscience in Therapy, presenting a full picture of the evidence base for common treatments.
