Abstract

Collecting is a normal phenomenon, in contrast with pathological collecting, or hoarding. Is hoarding a different phenomenon, or an extreme aspect existing on the same spectrum of behavior? How may these phenomena be understood when they are part of everyone's repertoire on one hand, but may be symptomatic of a grave disturbance on the other hand. An overview and a discussion of hoarding are presented.
