Abstract:
In Children of Hoarders, a nationally recognized obsessive compulsive disorder expert Fugen Neziroglu, who regularly appears as a therapist on the TLC television series, Hoarders, shows readers how to cope with both the practical and emotional challenges of growing up with a hoarder, such as dealing with clutter, unsanitary conditions, and a parent's unwillingness to change. This is the first book written specifically for adult children of hoarders that focuses on the interpersonal effects of hoarding.
