Investigated links between nocturnal enuresis and self-control processes. Self-control was conceptualized as an essential cognitive element in child development in general and in bladder and sphincter control in particular. Effectiveness of a cognitive intervention that trained children to develop and apply self-control skills was compared with other methods for treating nocturnal enuresis. 77 enuretic children (mean age 10.05 yrs) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups (cognitive, bell-and-pad, or token economy methods) and to 1 control group. Cognitive intervention was the most effective treatment method, as evidenced by the highest rate of success and the lowest rate of dropout or relapse.
