    Author: Papworth MA.
    Journal: J Behav Ther Exp Psychiatry; 1989 Sep; 20(3):265-8. PubMed ID: 2632596.
    Abstract:
    Barrey is a 42-year-old man with severe brain-damage. His nocturnal enuresis was pin-pointed as a major behavioural and management problem. Various treatments had failed to help him, so it was decided to implement a modified version of a behavioural programme which Azrin and Thienes (1978) used effectively with enuretic children. This programme involved: bladder training, regular awakenings throughout the night, self-correction with positive practice following an accident, and reinforcement. After only four weeks of training the enuresis had been successfully treated. Six-month follow-up data revealed this improvement had been maintained.
