A study of somatopsychic vulnerability in encopretic children
Abstract:
In this article the results of a study to determine the degree of somatopsychic vulnerability in children with encopresis are discussed. A checklist was constructed for the registration of somatic and functional data relevant to encopresis. Twenty-five children with encopresis were compared with a control group. The expectation of the authors that a number of somatopsychic phenomena would occur more frequently among encopretics than among non-encopretics could not be confirmed. It appeared that somatic and psychic diseases were more frequent in the families of the children with encopresis than in the control group.
