Why sleep?

Abstract

Alert clinicians realize that much more data are fragmentedly available than has coherently been assimilated for practical application to the understanding of sleep--its vital function, its vicissitudes and its values. Now may be the time to add to sleep research, a dimension of field trips away from the labs. Cross cultural data might also be correlated, bringing social anthropologists and sleep physiologists together for didactic exchange.

Childhood enuresis: a psychologic perspective.

Childhood enuresis has long been an enigmatic clinical entity. The purpose of this paper is to focus current psychologic thinking as it applies to etiology, diagnostic work-up, treatment, and follow-up. A large number of etiologic formulations are briefly mentioned, but our primary thrust is to emphasize the psychologic liabilities of urologic instrumentation and to encourage the early application of nonsurgical therapeutic approaches consisting of behavior modification and imipramine. Follow-up evaluation is suggested for children requiring diagnostic or therapeutic genitourinary instrumentation.
