Filter by:Aim 1: To test the efficacy of contingency management for patients with hoarding disorder (HD). Hypothesis 1. Participants completing CM will show significant pre- to post-treatment decreases in severity of hoarding symptoms and clinician-rated impairment, and significant increases in quality of life. Exploratory analyses will examine whether effect sizes compare with those of prior trials of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for HD conducted within our clinic, whether problem severity at follow-up is predicted by hoarding severity measured immediately after treatment completion, and whether readiness for change improves with treatment.
This study assesses the effectiveness of a novel group treatment for hoarding disorder.
This study will help to determine if acceptance and commitment therapy delivered as a web-based intervention is a useful treatment for hoarding disorder and evaluate whether or not web-based treatment for hoarding is credible and acceptable. It may also help identify novel processes of change in hoarding treatment such as psychological inflexibility, mindfulness, and self-stigma.
This study explores whether a facilitated peer support group called Buried in Treasures (BIT) and a virtual reality decluttering practice can help individuals with clutter challenges.
The primary aim is to develop, and test the feasibility and efficacy of, a manual based, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) treatment for Hoarding Disorder (HD) delivered in a group format combined with an Internet support system. The investigators' secondary aim is to investigate the neurocognitive profile of the participants before and after treatment in order to explore if the treatment might have an impact on neurocognitive functioning and if certain neurocognitive profiles predict outcome. For the primary aim, the investigators hypothesize that the treatment will be acceptable to participants and decrease symptoms of hoarding. Regarding the secondary aim, the investigators hypothesize that deficiencies in executive functioning, as measured with a neurocognitive battery, will reduce upon completion of treatment and that baseline executive function will be associated with treatment outcome.
Patients participate in Buried in Treasures Workshop (BIT) that has been shown to improve symptoms of hoarding disorder. To target levels of clutter, the investigators are testing an intervention to add in-home decluttering practice to the BIT workshop.
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a well-established case management model called Critical Time Intervention (CTI) can help individuals with hoarding disorder who are concerned about the risk of eviction. Each individual with hoarding disorder will be assigned to work with a CTI Specialist for 9 months, who will provide referrals for mental health treatment, legal consultations, and registration for entitlements. All participants will be offered a facilitated group intervention called the Buried in Treasures Workshop. The CTI Specialist will also facilitate reconnecting the individual with supportive family/friends and will monitor and support the de-cluttering of the patient's home.
This study proposes to compare two forms of treatment for Hoarding Disorder (HD), a common and impairing neuropsychiatric syndrome that has a profound impact on the lives and functioning of individuals, families, and society. Specifically, we will compare a novel community-based group treatment led by individuals from the community who are not mental health professionals to the current standard of care treatment for Hoarding Disorder, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, conducted by psychologists in a group setting. We hypothesized that both treatment types will be similarly effective in reducing hoarding severity.
The purpose of this research is to measure changes in brain activity with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) before and after cognitive-behavioral therapy for compulsive hoarding. Cognitive-behavioral therapy aims to help people change the thoughts and behaviors that maintain symptoms of hoarding. The investigators intend to enroll approximately 80 people with hoarding disorder and 40 people with no psychiatric disorder, between the ages of 20 and 60, for this study. The investigators believe that after treatment there will be changes in the brain activity of individuals with compulsive hoarding.
The primary aim of this pilot randomized controlled trial is to examine whether cognitive remediation, compared to a placebo, improves attention and related cognitive functions in patients with compulsive hoarding. The primary hypothesis is that compulsive hoarding patients who are treated with cognitive remediation will demonstrate improved cognitive skills at post-treatment compared to patients receiving placebo. This will be especially true of attention; memory and executive function skills may also be improved.
