Soiling is a difficult problem that can cause embarrassment and misunderstanding for therapists, teachers and parents, as well as the children themselves. In her sensitive and helpful book, Jan Clarke dismantles the negative preconceptions about encopresis which exacerbate the problem, combining factual information with practical ideas for working creatively and positively with children who soil. Encopresis is often treated as a simple behavioral difficulty, but this book also considers the psychological and emotional aspects. Emphasizing the importance of social, environmental and biological factors, Jan Clarke presents ways of working that maintain a sense of continuity with children in their homes, communities and educational environments. This book will encourage and assist workers, teachers and parents who are seeking to guide a child through the emotional and behavioral difficulties of encopresis.
