  • Title: Teaching socially appropriate behavior to eliminate hoarding in a brain injured adult.
    Author: Lane IM, Wesolowski MD, Burke WH.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 1989 Mar; 20(1):79-82. PubMed ID: 2768513.
    Abstract:
    A brain injured male hoarded large quantities of unuseable items at every opportunity. The treatment consisted of two phases. First, he was taught to collect baseball cards. Second, after each meal, the client was provided with an apron and a glove and asked to pick up trash in the area and deposit the trash in an appropriate receptacle. If he hoarded, he was told not to pick up trash without his apron and glove and escorted to a quiet area for about 10 seconds. The procedure was successful in suppressing the behavior within 8 days.
