title: Enuresis: the beginning work--what really happened.
abstract: The harmless, inexpensive, and effective method of treating enuresis (bed-wetting) described in this paper was developed more than forty years ago, yet dangerous, brutal, and ineffective methods of toilet training continue to be widely used. This article has therefore been prepared, not only because of historical considerations, but also in the hope of substantially increasing its usage, with benefit to enuretic children (adolescents, even some adults) and their families, far and wide. This article is not copyrighted, and the simple apparatus required for the type of training here described is not patented.
