SPECIAL INVESTIGATION CLINIC
The Special Investigation Clinic continued to receive a large number of referrals, but
although the total number of sessions in 1969 was slightly less than 1968, the average
number of patients appointed per session rose from 16 in 1968 to 23 in 1969. There
was also a 29% increase in the total number of attendances as compared to 1968 and an
approximate 30% increase in the number of discharged patients between the two years.
The relapse rate for 1969 was 28% whereas 31% is the total relapse rate for the three
years of the clinic's existence. These figures are good in relation to conditioned learning
treatment and are reflected in the good attendance rate at the clinic. There are several
research projects operating, and these include studies on intensity/tone conditioning,
personality factors, and prognosis, and the relation of over-learning to recurrence of
enuresis.
Mr. R.K. Turner, voluntary Psychologist at the clinic was awarded the degree of Ph.D.
(London) for a thesis concerned with learning theory procedures used in the treatment of
Enuresis. Mr. Turner was appointed as Principal Psychologist, Hollymoor Hospital,
Birmingham; he does, however, still maintain contact with the clinic and visits at
regular intervals. Dr. Young, Deputy Medical Officer of Health, published a paper "The
Problem of Enuresis". Ref.(1969) Brit.J.Hosp.Med 2. 628-632.
