Abstract

This paper considers how what has been learned about hoarding difficulties in adults can be applied to working with children and adolescents and how our knowledge of child development can improve how we help the younger person with this problem. In particular, attachment relationships to objects and organisational difficulties will be focused upon. The importance of earlier interventions, earlier in life, to prevent problems in the future is stressed. Future directions including a research agenda are put forward.
