title: [Enuresis aetological approaches and therapeutic strategies (author's transl)].
abstract: Enuresis is a frequent disease in childhood--entailing personal misery, shame, and discredit for the children concerned as well as irritation and a bigger workload for the responsible adults. Parents and teachers often tend to react to this uncontrolled urinating as to a personal provocation. The following study is meant to summarize different aetiological approaches from which therapeutic strategies are derived and classified according to pragmatic considerations. By resorting to common psychotherapeutic methods pediatricians can successfully treat 2/3--3/4 of all cases.
