Urinary and Fecal Incontinence

A new and effective training program for children and adolescents with continence difficulties

Elimination disorders (such as bed-wetting or soiling) are common in childhood. This manual presents a new and effective training program for children and adolescents with nocturnal enuresis, daytime urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence,or a combination of these forms, who do not respond to standard measures.

After discussing the different types of incontinence and comorbid psychological disorders, the expert team of authors (a psychotherapist, a pediatric nurse, a psychologist, and a psychiatrist) describe a 7-9 session program of bladder and boweltraining, primarily for use in groups but which can also be used with individuals. The training encompasses psychoeducation, operant reinforcement, emotion regulation, and relaxation techniques – all presented in a “child-friendly”, playful manner.

The manual itself is accompanied by a wealth of colorful, attractive, printable worksheets and other educational materials suitable for youngsters, which cover topics such as healthy drinking and eating habits, stress and emotion regulation,body perception, toilet training, and relaxation techniques.

This manual is a superb resource for pediatricians, specialists in child and adolescent psychiatry, psychologists, nurses, urotherapists, and all other professionals looking for well-founded, hands-on guidance on treating children and adolescents with incontinence.

From the Reviews:

"A timely and needed addition to the literature, covering not only treatment but also all investigation aspects of incontinence …. This is the only training program for children and adolescents with urinary and fecal incontinence that has been published in English during the last few decades. The intended audience includes psychologists, pediatricians, and other health care providers.
The treatment can be applied in individual or group format. All of the sessions are discussed in detail, approached in practical way [with] a range of training materials such as tables, figures, recording charts, and graphs. Because of this practical approach and the laymen’s terms used, health care providers could also easily and explicitly convey the therapeutic techniques and goals to the parents. A major asset is the CD preloaded with the documents for each session."
