Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things
by Randy O. Frost & Gail Steketee

This is one of the best books I have read on the subject of hoarding.  Stuff really digs into the complexities on why people hoard and what can be done about it.  By no means does this book offer solutions on how to cure hoarding.  Rather, it gives the readers some insight to understand hoarding as an extreme psychological condition.

Digging Out: Helping Your Loved One Manage Clutter, Hoarding, and Compulsive Acquiring
by Michael Tompkins and Tamara Hartl


"Many people who hoard understand the extent of their problem and are open to help. This book is not for them. Digging Out is for the concerned and frustrated friends and family members of people who do not fully accept the magnitude of their hoarding problem and refuse help from others. If you have a friend or loved one with a hoarding problem and are seeking a way to guide him or her to a healthier, safer way of life, this book is for you.
