Dr. David Tolin is Director of the Anxiety Disorders Center at the
Institute of Living and Adjunct Associate Professor of Psychiatry
at Yale University School of Medicine.
Dr. Randy O. Frost is Harold & Elsa Siipola Israel Professor of
Psychology at Smith College.
Dr. Gail Steketee is Dean and Professor at Boston University School
of Social Work.
Drs. Tolin, Frost, and Steketee are among the world's leading
experts in the study and treatment of hoarding disorder. Together,
they have held three grants to study hoarding from the National
Institute of Mental Health and have led the field in our
understanding of why hoarding behavior occurs, how hoarding is
reflected in brain activity, and how best to treat people with
hoarding. They have developed and tested a treatment for hoarding,
currently considered the "gold standard" in the field,
which forms the basis of this book.
"...[the authors] have been leading the way in documenting
characteristics of sufferers and how to treat the condition...an
excellent guide for therapists who have only limited experience in
treating hoarding, as well as for those who treat other subtypes of
OCD but not necessarily hoarding."--Cognitive and Behavioral
Practice
"There are a fair number of self-help books out there on aspects of
OCD. Buried in Treasures is among the best of them. People with a
hoarding problem should definitely find value in this book. It also
belongs on the shelf of many mental health providers because
whatever population one is working with will have its share of
individuals with this problem. I hope that, in future, the authors
may bring their knowledge, experience, and excellent
writing skills to additional self-help books on aspects of OCD."
--PsycCRITIQUES
"I would recommend this book to treatment providers, professional
organizers and the compulsive hoarder. This book, if used properly,
will guide the reader to clutter-free living!" -Patricia B.
Perkins, JD, Executive Director, OC Foundation, Inc.
"The world's leading experts on compulsive acquiring, hoarding and
saving have presented their proven, step-by-step treatment in a
practical, easy-to-understand format that will be useful to anyone
who hoards, as well as any professional who treats this problem. If
you are looking for ways to clear your clutter, you need to read
this book now!" -Martin M. Antony, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor,
Department of Psychology, Ryerson University, Author, When

"Buried in Treasures is one of the few books I regularly recommend
to clients and other professionals searching for clear, accurate
and practical information on hoarders and hoarding behavior. David
Tolin and his colleagues distill the latest research and apply a
very human touch in this excellent reference." -Peter Walsh,
Professional Organizer and Author of NY Times best-seller It's All
