Enuresis: sharing new research and practice.
We now understand more about the causes and treatment but must work to overcome the stigma associated with enuresis. Training for professionals needs to be standardised. Terminology also needs to be standardised. European research suggests that the quality of the relationship between professional and child can affect the outcome of treatment. A range of treatments is possible but the first step is a clear assessment of the problem and cause. It is important to take account of the family setting. Never assume incontinence is inevitable for children with special needs and that nothing can be done. Much can be achieved with appropriate training programmes.
