Interventions

  • RECLAIM: Reducing Clutter and Increasing Meaning — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive 16 weekly 1-hour treatment sessions in their home delivered by Masters-level clinicians with the assistance of undergraduate researchers. Each treatment session will involve a combination of motivational interviewing (MI) and sorting practice. The rationale behind the sorting practice is to develop the skill of sorting and the formation of a daily sorting routine. The MI portion of the initial session will involve an evaluation of client strengths and individual biopsychosocial goals. The initial and subsequent sessions will include a variety of MI techniques, including decisional balancing, developing discrepancy, personalized feedback, and reinforcement of responsibility of sense of self-efficacy.
  • Sorting Practice — BEHAVIORAL
    Participants will receive 16 weekly 1-hour treatment sessions in their home delivered by Masters-level clinicians with the assistance of undergraduate researchers. Clinicians will encourage participants to sort objects during each session while refraining from use of any specific cognitive or motivational therapeutic techniques. Participants will be asked to record the frequency and duration of any sorting/ discarding they did during the previous week.
