Abstract
Encopresis is a relatively common childhood disorder that continues to be poorly understood. An integrated assessment and treatment model for this disorder is presented. Data generated from a comprehensive assessment enables the diagnosis and identification of subtypes of encopresis based on objective, identifiable criteria. The rationale and methods for treating each subtype of encopresis then is presented. In addition, the importance of assessing and treating psychiatric comorbidity in children with encopresis is highlighted.Keywords
