30-Hours Diploma in Diagnosis and Treatment of Hoarding Disorder

Credit hours

3

Hoarding disorder is explored through its history, prevalence and psychological and neurological roots. Learners look at how it is assessed using DSM-5 and ICD-11 criteria, safety risks in hoarded homes, and approaches such as CBT and motivational interviewing. Units on working with families and multidisciplinary teams suit support and housing staff, building awareness rather than clinical qualification.
