Compulsive Hoarding Strategies for Treatment
A Professional Development workshop for mental health professionals

Presenter: Dr Christopher Mogan, Clinical Psychologist – Member of the APS and of the College of Clinical Psychologists – Director of The Anxiety Clinic in Richmond – Consultant to the Swinburne University of Psychology Clinic.
Overview:
The focus of this training workshop is Compulsive Hoarding, an under-recognized clinical condition where pervasive hoarding disrupts the sufferer’s space, time and personal functioning resulting in clutter and hazards that have serious implications not only for the sufferers but for those close to them, and for those health and welfare personnel working professionally to assist. This complex problem is made worse by its chronic nature, the lack of insight or motivation for change, and the non-availability of options for help. This workshop is directed at helping professional staff to increase their understanding of Compulsive Hoarding and to develop skills for assisting in the better management of this demanding condition.
Topics covered in the workshop are:- Definition and phenomenology of hoarding
- Etiology and course
- Diagnostic issues including complexity and co-morbidities
- Association of Compulsive Hoarding and OCD
- Explanation of standardized assessment tools.
- Strategies of group and individual treatment.
- Therapy interfering behaviours
- Case presentations
The format of the presentation will be interactive and include video presentation of compulsive hoarding issues and interventions. The workshop will include presentation handouts, lecture notes and reference materials.
About the Presenter:
Dr Mogan is a well-known Clinical Psychologist presenter at professional training workshops ranging from GP Education and post-graduate lectures to conference seminars and community groups. He is an expert on Compulsive Hoarding and is currently conducting research and treatment programs in the SwinPsyche Research Group at Swinburne University. He presented a key paper on The Psychology of Compulsive Hoarding at the recent Inaugural National Conference on Squalor and Hoarding held in Sydney. Dr Mogan is part of a working group of professionals from various government and non-government agencies - the Department of Human Services, RSPCA Victoria, the Metropolitan Fire Brigade and the Salvation Army - developing education programs for Compulsive Hoarding as part of the growing awareness of this disabling, costly and poorly understood clinical phenomenon.
