Developing a model of hoarding behaviours
28 March 2018
This study aims to develop a model of hoarding behaviours using interviews with people who hoard to find out how hoarding behaviours develop and the meaning of possessions. I am also interested in talking to professionals who work with those who hoard, e.g. professional organisers, clinical psychologists, psychotherapists. Interviews can be face to face, over Skype or via telephone, whichever is most convenient for you. Interviews would last around 60-90 minutes.
