Recent Technological Advancements in the Treatment of Enuresis

Antienuretic devices sold commercially symbolize the progression in technological improvements from historical to modem treatment approaches. Underlying these advancements are theoretical changes in operant psychology, through whose applications the science in psychophysiology has become prominent. This article traces the treatment of enuresis through its early developmental stages, identifying psychophysiology as a cognitive problem, to modem inventions of mechanical devices and the shifts in operant paradigms to accommodate them. Implications for criteria in selecting effective antienuretic devices are also reviewed, as are problems engendered with the competitive market.
