To Grow Your Practice?
Do You Want To Develop A Specialty
That's Very Much In Demand?
2006 statistics identified 5.8% of the US population as compulsive buyers. Soon-to-be-published stats suggest the percentage may be a good deal higher.
In March of this year, visitors from 69 countries and 48 states sought out our website, StoppingOvershopping.com.
The population of compulsive buyers is very much underserved.
Few therapists have specialized training in this area.

Learn from a pioneer in the field. April Benson, Ph.D., editor of I Shop, Therefore I Am: Compulsive Buying and the Search for Self, creator of the Stopping Overshopping Program, and author of the forthcoming To Buy or Not To Buy: Why We Overshop and How To Stop, is offering a 12 session teletraining for qualified mental health professionals interested in learning to work with compulsive buyers. During the training, we follow two or three compulsive buyers from the intake process through the entire Stopping Overshopping Program and read additional clinical and theoretical material.
Each therapist in the group will either use the Stopping Overshopping Program with an overshopping client or work the program and explore his or her own buying behavior.
Some comments from therapists who have completed this training:
"Dr. Benson is an outstanding contributor to a vast new field, helping a population of suffering people among us. She has helped me both professionally and personally, and I highly recommend her course to therapists who wish to expand their practices."

"I have known April Benson since 2005 and have been impressed with her pioneering work in the field of compulsive shopping and spending. I read her book "I Shop Therefore I Am" and completed her teletraining in early 2007. It was very valuable and gave me more understanding and confidence to work with clients who suffer from compulsive shopping and spending.
"I am seeing my practice grow and am seeing results with my clients. Dr. Benson has been gracious in helping to promote me and answer any questions I may have along the way. I can't recommend her program highly enough."
Terrence Daryl Shulman, JD, LMSW, ACSW, CAC, CPC |
"I recently completed April Benson's training program on Stopping Overshopping. The program offers a step by step process for treating clients with issues of Overshopping. It is a very thorough training for clinicians providing both educational and professional support. Dr. Benson has substantively examined addictive shopping, spending, and buying and now has extended training to clinicians on this subject. I can highly recommend this learning opportunity."
