  • Title: [Encopresis--in a child psychiatric treatment regime].
    Author: Berge T, Diseth TH.
    Journal: Tidsskr Nor Laegeforen; 1993 Nov 10; 113(27):3345-8. PubMed ID: 8273058.
    Abstract:
    The evidence to date suggests a multi-factoral aetiology for encopresis, especially in cases where it is part of a psychiatric disorder. A physiological predisposition, the age at which bowel training is begun, the parent-child relationship and environmental stresses are influential. Thus no single treatment will suffice for the varieties of encopresis encountered in child psychiatric practice. This paper presents a programme used at a child psychiatric unit and embodying several methods of treatment: use of lavement, laxatives and softeners, counselling, behaviour modification and environmental therapy.
