Abstract

This article describes and illustrates cases the treatment of primary and secondary encopresis using a changing conditions and criterion design with two subjects. The dependent variables measured were increase in appropriate toileting behavior and decrease in inappropriate toileting behavior. After 12 and 13 weeks of treatment encopresis was completely eliminated. In a two-month follow-up and one year follow-up inappropriate toileting behavior was not reported. Appropriate toileting behavior was also reported generalized to settings outside the home.

훈련의 조건과 목표행동의 기준을 변화시키는 설계(changing conditions design and changing criterion design)를 사용하여 일차적 유분증과 이차적 유분증이 있는 아동 2명을 각각 행동치료하였다. 측정된 종속변인은 바람직한 배변행동의 증가와 부적절한 배변행동의 감소였다. 과제분석과 체계적인 강화를 사용하여 아동을 치료한 결과 각각 처치 12와 13주 후에 아동의 유분증은 제거되었다. 치료 종결 두 달 후의 follow-up에서도 부적절한 배변행동은 보고되지 않았으며 바람직한 배변행동이 가정이외의 곳으로 일반화되었음이 보고되었다.
