The first book from one of the leading experts of A&E's widely acclaimed series, Hoarders.
The extreme cleaning specialist on A&E's hit TV show reveals the sometimes unsettling, always fascinating behind-the-scenes stories of compulsive hoarders. In this compellingly readable book, Paxton not only addresses the physical challenges of working the front lines of hoarding, but also the emotional and social issues surrounding this unique pathology.
Illuminated with the stories of real clients with whom Paxton has worked, he tells readers how to speak hoarders' language, how to reach out to them with compassion and concern, and most important, how to see them through every step of the clean up and recovery process.
