| Popis: | Since the eighteenth century, increasing attention has focused on the physical and moral capabilities of young children. In defining the stages of life, childhood specialists used toilet training at variously determined ages as a sign of an infant's normality. As a social problem as well as a medical symptom, childhood enuresis (bed-wetting) often implied rejection phenomena within families and institutions and provided childhood specialists with a field of research and experimentation. The violence of certain interventions was a response to families' anxieties. Over time, however, intervention has become much less direct as a result of the influence of psychological interpretations of the problem and as interpretations of the symptoms have shifted away from various biological hypotheses. |
