  • Title: The enuresis interview. The situation of children with bed-wetting careers.
    Author: Haug-Schnabel G.
    Journal: Acta Paedopsychiatr; 1990; 53(1):45-53. PubMed ID: 2173341.
    Abstract:
    In addition to the careful, non-invasive, usual out-patient care, looking after bed-wetting children requires a biographical anamnesis inquiry with special regard for the bed-wetting situation for child and family. Only in this way can bed-wetting careers with numerous unsuccessful, disappointing stages of diagnosis and therapy be recognized. Chosen interview main points such as: reason for bringing the child, the parents' experiences with the symptom course, treatment history, description of the child, family and care situation give insights into the suffering, the dealings with the symptoms within the family as well as the family's motivation for getting rid of the enuresis. Symptom-orientated treatment attempts may not be continued, the punitive character of many therapies must be spoken about. The connection between stressing events and bed-wetting at night has already been noticed by many parents. This is an important starting-point for the child's care and the parents' counselling.
