“I have just finished reading your book, which is great. I especially like your chapters on engagement, harm reduction, and strengths-based approaches. It will be a great help to people who work with hoarding clients or are interested in doing so. They will learn a great deal. You take a very positive and yet honest approach to the rewards and challenges in this field. I appreciate your ethics chapter and the one on language; both will give readers a clear picture of how to approach cases.”
