From the author: Encopresis affects 1% to 3% of the general pediatric population, yet most parents are unaware of the condition. Parents frequently view encopretic symptoms as deliberate actions and react punitively. Children with encopresis live in constant fear of ridicule about a problem over which they have no control. The lengthy, complex management program for encopresis usually includes physiological and behavioral approaches. Noncompliance and withdrawing from the program too quickly are major obstacles to success. The collaborative protocol model, focused on medical clinicians, children and families, and school nurses in collaboration with the children's teachers provides comprehensive strategical management of encopresis. As health professionals with frequent opportunity for communication with children and their parents, schools nurses are essential members of the collaborative management team. Also, the unique position of school nurses offers the opportunity to identify children with encopresis and help them work toward a positive outcome. (J Sch Health. 1995;65(9):360-364)

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Encopresis," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Encopresis in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Encopresis when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Encopresis, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Mastery of bowel and bladder control is a major developmental milestone for children. This mastery represents a significant step towards the establishment of individuation. It signifies the ability to take care of oneself and attend school. Until relatively recently, both enuresis and encopresis were conditions notoriously resistant to therapeutic intervention. Now, however, highly effective intervention techniques have been identified for these disorders and are becoming more widely used. But there is still a need for improved dissemination of knowledge about effective treatments, and for a greater number of qualified professionals to provide treatment for these disorders. The purpose of this book is to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of the causes, signs and effective treatments for childhood encopresis and enuresis.
