This article reviews the current literature on compulsive hoarding, including its course and features, comorbidity, nosology, clinical presentation, and treatment response. The authors describe the cognitive-behavioral therapy model and treatment of hoarding, including a case presentation of a cognitive behavioral group treatment of compulsive hoarding.
