Original Jeff, I don't want to be creating a debate here, since I know virtually nothing about encopresis and will respect your greater knowledge. I would suspect though (admittedly not having done research) that there are differing opinions as to best or least psychologically adverse treatments.
In general, I would acknowledge there are many childhood illnesses requiring physically uncomfortable treatments (certainly cancer would be among them). A key difference though is that the parent's motivation shoul be to be informed of the options and then to choose primarily the most effective, and secondarily an approach of least feasible discomfort to the child.
That is a far cry from a parent just giving a child an enema out of the blue, or one of more than necessary discomfort, if one is truly (and I emphasize "truly", since I think most aren't) needed. There were far too many of these, and the child can sense the difference between these and a medical treatment that is absolutely necessary, or if he can't, then he gets mental images created from those consequences.
