There has been an increased awareness of hoarding in recent years, but clinical treatments aimed at helping people with this condition often have low success rates. In The Hoarding Impulse Renee M. Winters explores how depth psychology can enrich current conceptual models and treatment standards for compulsive hoarding. The book presents case studies of prominent sufferers including Edie and Edith Beale, the Collyer Brothers, and Andy Warhol and explores common themes of loss, shame and object clusters.
Winters sets out to provide a clear understanding of a hoarder’s lived experiences and their core schemas of value, worth and personal identity, revealing a direct connection to excessive acquisition of objects. She illuminates the process of how objects can come to possess a hoarder and become not only their main source of happiness but also part of their identity and in doing so puts forward a new treatment plan based on providing a deeper understanding of and potent treatment approach to what is a core issue for hoarding individuals: the wounding of the soul. This new perspective to treating individuals who hoard helps them in the long term understand their processes, value system, and struggles with negative interpersonal relationships.
Providing a fascinating insight into the psyche of people who struggle with hoarding, this book will be essential reading for depth psychologists, Jungian psychotherapists, psychiatrists, social workers, students of analytical psychology and anyone interested in understanding the dynamics of this complex condition.

Review
'I would recommend it to therapists as a positive resource on which to draw because it offers a deeper understanding of the core issues underlying the impulse to hoard… Winters brings a wealth of knowledge to the subject and I have a profound respect for her skill and commitment in writing this book.' – Pat Hoare is an accredited counsellor and supervisor, Private Practice
‘Renee Winters' The Hoarding Impulse: Suffocation of the soul is a rich, psychological and mythological exploration of one of our culture's most fascinating and, for many, abhorrent human practices. Rather than judge it and those who hoard, Winters' approach is much more compassionate, insightful and in places profound in introducing us to the complex psychology of hoarding and those who hoard. We can't help but see images of ourselves in such fascinating behavior.’ - Dennis Patrick Slattery Ph.D, author of Bridge Work: Essays on Mythology, Literature and Psychology
‘Dr. Winters gets it! She charts a path to self-discovery by revealing the human treasures hidden inside the disorder, treasures that must be uncovered for unleashing human potential and enduring change. For many, the world of objects seemed safer and more manageable, until this world was overused and prevented human growth. Dr. Winters shows how people with Hoarding Disorder stall their personal evolution by imbedding in objects needs for intimate relationships with self and others, conflicts, resources and values. In my work with OCD and Hoarding Disorder, clients learn to repurpose their resources and values to a world beyond objects and rituals. Dr Winters shows how this uncovering supplies the direction, drive, and heart to move forward into a world that for many was just too much.’ - Suzanne Chabaud, Ph.D, OCD Institute of Greater New Orleans, USA, expert on A&E Hoarders
'Delving deep into the inner lives of those who hoard, Dr. Winters brings compassion and new insights to the treatment and care of those who suffer. She invites us to explore the traumatic roots of our attachments and to develop greater regard for the unconscious depths. This book stands against clinical reductionism and upholds the mysteries of the soul at work in these complex symptoms.' - Edward Smith Santana, Ph.D, Jungian psychotherapist in private practice, USA and Canada

Helping the Hoarder by Finding the Story Buried Underneath the Clutter
By B Daniel Blatt
I have long dubbed myself a "conscious hoarder," that is, I am aware of my propensity to buy--and keep things--I know i don't really need. Thus, when attending an alumni event at my graduate school and saw this book and met the author, I knew I had to buy it and talk to her.
But, while I may not have really needed another book, Renee Winters's The Hoarding Impulse did help me better understand my affliction. From the get-go, she offers a sensitive approach to those of us who collect things, seeking to look beyond the clutter to discover the individual hiding underneath.
She wants to "understand value through the eyes of the hoarder," why we keep things, why we hoard. Individuals "who acquire possession," she writes, citing Alfred Adler, compensate "for a sense of inferiority created at birth, and that inanimate objects could provide comfort." And some hoarders believe the "more they possess, the more of their life can be recorded, helping them achieve a sense of self."
Not just that, many hoarders feel isolated; objects become a means to connect to the world. And yet what they really "crave" is "human interaction." "Having a story," she adds, “through identification with their possessions allows individuals who hoard to experience feelings of being needed and valued."
And finally, she offers four stories of extreme hoarders, including Edith and Edie Beale of Grey Gardens, Ida Mayfield Wood and pop artist Andy Warhol. She wonders if these individuals, fearing they had "no control over losing something," were "trying to hold onto something beautiful, their past" perhaps--or, I might add, the future they had imagined, but never experienced.
Mayfield Wood, WInters contends, "tried to mitigate and avoid suffering through the accumulation of her objects."
In the end, she asks that psychologists take an individual approach to hoarders, to appreciate that they, that we, "crave an emotional connection." Moreover, those in the helping professions "need to focus on the symbolic roles the objects play for these individuals." Too often, such professionals "overlook the persuasive force of fantasy, and how hoarders idealize objects to avoid real pain."
And while she is spot-on in her analysis of--and compassion for--the hoarder, she becomes at times overly dependent on the jargon of depth psychology. Perhaps that might be helpful to clinicians, but can be a bit distracting for some readers.
That said, her overall approach is sound--to consider each hoarder as an individual whose piles of clutter serve as physical manifestations of an emotional need.
And thus, she believes it would "gain nothing" to prescribe a "fixed treatment regimen," but instead clinicians should listen to each hoarder and help him tell his story or help her articulate her aspirations. And to sympathize with the emotional pain, the spiritual longings hidden in the piles of material stuff.
