Overview

Excerpt from A Child Welfare Problem: The Care and Cure of Enuresis or Bedwetting in Child-Caring Institutions The subject is now considered because a number of advanced child welfare workers feel that the time has come for plain and candid discussion of this distressing and deleterious night prac tice, so that right principles and methods of relief may be set before hundreds of officers and attendants who are obliged to deal with it day by day. The medical term is used in the title of this brochure to familiarize all with this correct and definite name, to stimulate greater dependence upon the advice of physicians, and to avoid the constant use of the common English expression. The average child-caring institution usually has a plan for the care and treatment of bedwetters, partly social and partly medi cal, but nearly always unsystematic. It succeeds in reforming some of the patients and in declaring others incurable; but it generally does not give to the matter the attention it deserves, nor provide separate diagnosis for numerous cases that are alike only in unsanitary exterior manifestations. If this pamphlet succeeds in setting forth sufficient facts and suggestions to induce a number of institutions to study their cases individually and thoroughly, secure medical and psycho logical help according to the diagnosis, and apply treatment suited to the varied and more or less serious needs of the afflicted children, it will have accomplished its purpose.
