While studying for one of my classes, abnormal psychology, I stumbled upon an excerpt in my book about a woman who was considered a 'hoarder'. This term refers to severe cluttering of a person's home so that is is no longer able to function as a viable living space because of a large number of acquired items that appear to have no value the person has failed to throw up. I found this interesting because it says 'items that have no value'. I think this may be the case only in the eyes of outsiders and these things can have a sort of sacred meaning to the person that has acquired them.
