商品簡介
Instructors and practitioners Christophersen (U. of Missouri-Kansas City and Children's Mercy Hospital) and Friman (U. of Nebraska and Boys Town, Omaha) synthesize findings in the basic science and clinical management of childhood encopresis and enuresis, two of the many elimination disorders humans sometimes suffer. They consider each in a specified sequence of definition, diagnosis, epidemiology, and other descriptions; influential theories and models; major approaches to treatment; problems encountered carrying out treatments; and case vignettes. The section on encopresis also discusses constipation and toilet refusal; nocturnal and diurnal enuresis are considered in separate sections. The reference could be useful for non-specialist clinicians and for parents and other care givers. It is not indexed. Annotation c2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
