title: A comparison of two approaches to the treatment of nocturnal enuresis and the prediction of effectiveness using pre-treatment variables.
abstract: This study compared the effectiveness of the enuresis alarm alone with a brief version of Dry Bed Training in treating 74 enuretic children. Both procedures were equally effective, and in the total sample a better response to treatment was predicted by the child's report of being teased by siblings. Maternal anger was associated with a greater drop-out rate.
