I don't struggle with this problem myself, and I don't really know anyone who does. I picked up this book mostly on a whim, hoping for a more compassionate understanding of Hoarders than one generally sees on reality TV. That is, for the most part, what I got. This book does a good job of telling the case stories it provides, making them real people, rather than objects of amusement.
