Children who soil - Ann Buchanan

Children Who Soil Assessment and Treatment Ann Buchanan in collaboration with Graham Clayden Children who soil. Whether it is called encopresis, faecal incontinence, or neurogenic soiling, it is hard to imagine a social or physical problem that is more devastating to a childs sense of personal worth than an inability to control the most basic of human functions. This volume, written by Ann Buchanan, an experienced child psychiatric social worker, in collaboration with Graham Clayden, one of the foremost paediatric authorities on the subject in the UK, is the first devoted comprehensively to children who soil. It focuses on the whole child: an approach which incorporates the physical, the psychological and social aspects of the problem for the child and its family. The book is designed for both the busy professional who wants to assimilate the essentials of the whole child approach for assessing and treating soiling children in the shortest possible time and those practitioners who require a more comprehensive and authoritative account of the subject.
