Abstract
Child- and parent-report measures of psychological adjustment were compared for children exhibiting two forms of childhood enuresis: nocturnal vs. nocturnal/diurnal. Results indicated that although parents of daytime and nighttime wetters described their children as relatively normal individuals who were not exhibiting signs of psychopathology, nocturnal/diurnal enuretics reported having a below average level of self-esteem that was significantly lower than that reported by nocturnal enuretics. In addition, parents of nocturnal/diurnal enuretics described their child's wetting as more of a nuisance than did parents of nocturnal enuretics.
