DSM-5® now includes a new disorder!

Nowadays, hoarding is more than simply an anxiety disorder’s symptom. The DSM-5® classifies it as a true, comprehensive diagnosis. Hoarding is a complicated disorder that cannot be treated by doing the kind of forced cleanup you see on television. Hoarding clients require individualized treatment plans in order to see long-term improvement.

Watch and listen to Jennifer Sampson, PhD, LMFT, a hoarding specialist, as she illustrates how to understand the thoughts of someone who has a hoarding condition. You can examine, diagnose, and treat hoarding appropriately with the help of Jennifer’s ideas. You will gain knowledge about the possible health hazards, concomitant problems, and emotional difficulties, such guilt and humiliation, frequently connected with hoarding. She will also demonstrate the Safety DayTM method, which reduces damage, organizes cleanouts, and provides you with methods for managing your client’s psychological symptoms while the cleanout is going on. Additionally, you will discover how to create a network of cooperation with other comparable professions.

This priceless tool is made to provide you with the evaluation and therapy methods you require to assist your client in moving forward and leading a healthy, uncluttered life. Dr. Sampson will discuss this challenging subject using case studies, client experiences, and appropriate humor.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
