Extract

Some aspects of the literature on the aetiology and classification of faecal soiling are reviewed briefly, and behavioural treatment approaches described. A case study—a 4-year-old girl with faecal soiling—is presented using a behavioural strategy. The case highlights the clinical importance of systematic fading of treatment contingencies, and a detailed analysis of the presenting problem in more recalcitrant cases.
