Behavioral treatment for nocturnal enuresis.

Nocturnal enuresis is one of the most prevalent and distressing of all childhood problems. The treatment of nocturnal enuresis has shifted in the past few decades from a strictly psychopathological perspective to a biobehavioral perspective. Although the primary clinical features of this disorder are medical/organic, there is currently strong evidence for a behavioral treatment package consisting of the urine alarm and various skillsoriented components. Alternative devices, methods, and adjunctive components are reviewed and presented in the context of an optimal treatment plan.
