Dean Gail Steketee Quoted in Orlando Sentinel

Boston University School of Social Work Dean and Professor Gail Steketee, PhD, was interviewed for Marni Jameson’s Orlando Sentinel article titled “Take a look at your house – are you a hoarder?”

In the November 24 article, Steketee discusses the spectrum of relationships people have with their stuff. “Holding onto stuff becomes unhealthy when it negatively affects a person’s life,” she told Jameson.

Steketee co-authored two books on hoarding, including “Stuff: Compulsive Hoarding and the Meaning of Things,” and “Buried in Treasures: Help for Compulsive Acquiring, Saving, and Hoarding.”
