FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/b><\/p>\n

February 14, 2014<\/p>\n

COLLABORATION HELPS THE CHRONICALLY DISORGANIZED<\/p>\n

New book guides joint efforts of organizers and other professionals<\/p>\n

St. Louis, MO \u2013 February 14, 2014<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo heads are better than one\u201d applies in general and even more so when solving complex challenges. People whose disorganization undermines their physical and emotional well-being need the help of a team.\u00a0 Combining therapeutic and practical help and support from professional organizers, therapists, AD\/HD coaches, hoarding task forces, state and local governments, schools, support groups, and clients and their families has proven effective in assisting those who are chronically disorganized. To further the benefits of this approach, the Institute for Challenging Disorganization is releasing its second resource book The ICD Guide to Collaborating with Professional Organizers for Related Professionals<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The book lays the foundation for potent partnerships whether as trusted resources or through integrated treatment efforts. In addition to an explanation of chronic disorganization, the book outlines the benefits of and models for collaborating with trained professional organizers.<\/p>\n

The guide itself is a team effort. Several of the more than fifty informative articles have been penned jointly by experienced professional organizers and psychiatrists, psychotherapists, AD\/HD coaches, and social workers. The book also provides an in-depth look at real situations through twenty-five case studies.<\/p>\n

David F. Tolin, Ph.D., ABPP, Director at the Anxiety Disorders Center at The Institute of Living, says, \u201cIncreasingly clients do best when they can benefit from the unique knowledge and skill sets that mental health therapists and professional organizers bring to the table. For mental health practitioners interested in examining Hoarding Disorder and related problems from a new angle, in understanding how professionals from another discipline approach the problem, and in learning how to communicate and collaborate in a multidisciplinary approach to intervention, this book is a must-read.”<\/p>\n

Valentina Sgro, President, ICD says, \u201cIt is our hope that this book will inspire and facilitate even more collaborative efforts among members of the various professions providing support to the chronically disorganized.\u201d<\/p>\n

The book is available through http:\/\/www.challengingdisorganization.org\/publications\/icd-guide-collaborating-professional-organizers<\/a> for $49.95.<\/p>\n
