Enuresis:

Dr. Robert W. Collins, PhD was invited as a distinguished visiting professor to the University of Western Australia in
1975 because of his work validating the specific mechanism for the success of Psychology's oldest clinical instrument,
the bedwetting alarm. Basically, he showed that an alarm going off with minimum delay at the precise time of beginning
to wet the bed activated the urinary sphincter to shut off the urine stream.

Repeating this "conditioning" over a number of nights led the children to take over from the external alarm to rely on
their own internal cues (alarm) of a filling bladder to get up and void or eventually learn to allow sleeping through the
night dry. This method is widely recognized as the best means for helping children to become dry by learning to use
their own natural resources for becoming dry. Relapse is much less likely than occurs with the use of medication when
it is discontinued or loses its effectiveness.

As medication approaches were preferred by physicians and many parents, Dr. Collins found that sales of his Clean
Kid Manual, which is specifically devoted to a new treatment protocol for fecal incontinence, proved to be very
successful when it was offered on the internet with a parents' email forum. Encopresis is a much more intense and
distressing problem to parents desperately seeking help when the usual medical approaches have failed. In the next
edition of the Clean Kid Manual, projected for mid- or late- 2011, Dr. Collins will include chapters on bedwetting.

Often when soiling is successfully treated the bladder incontinence, if present, is also solved. Until then the reader is
encouraged to find relevant information for treating bladder incontinence in the day or night by visiting a section of Dr.
Collin's Encopresis website which is devoted to the subject of bedwetting, called Enuresis.
