Hoarding Disorder in Older Adults: Application of Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure Sorting Treatment (CREST)
with John Gault, LCSW
Hoarding Disorder (HD) affects 2.6% of all adults, across genders, cultures and backgrounds. The disorder can be particularly detrimental for older adults who may live in dangerous conditions due to fall risks, mobility issues, expired medications, and more. Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure Sorting Treatment (CREST) is an innovative and emerging treatment for hoarding disorder. It combines cognitive rehabilitation skills to reinforce older adults’ abilities to plan, organize, and problem solve, using those skills to enhance the application of exposure therapy in practicing discarding belongings. This presentation provides an overview of Hoarding Disorder (including diagnostic criteria, epidemiology, and pathology), details the CREST protocol, and reviews past and ongoing research in treatment development.
There will be opportunities during the presentation to ask questions of the presenter. We provide 2 CE Credits for attendance at this presentation.
Educational Goals/Learning Objectives:
Participants will learn how to identify and assess Hoarding Disorder (HD) in older adults and how the innovative Cognitive Rehabilitation and Exposure Sorting Treatment (CREST) can be used with clients/patients to improve their home safety and quality of life. At the end of this presentation, participants will be able to:
- Identify hoarding disorder by DSM-V diagnostic criteria.
- Describe and outline the components of CREST and their functional utility in treatment.
Presenter:
John Gault, LCSW (he/him) is a licensed clinical social worker with the VA San Diego and UC San Diego. He has been working in clinical practice and treatment research on Hoarding Disorder since 2017. Mr. Gault was an integral part of early implementation and development of the UCSD CREST Community Program, the only public clinical treatment program for Hoarding Disorder in San Diego County. He has also been with the VA San Diego since 2020 in health sciences research on Hoarding Disorder and implementation science.
