ABSTRACT

This article discusses the conceptualisation of enuresis nocturna by Dutch experts between c.1950 and 1990, years in which across the West new child sciences rapidly developed. Today, bedwetting is conceived as a mental illness caused by a mixture of nature- and nurture-bound factors. Have organic and environmental causes always figured as twins, even in the post-war decades of predominant environmentalism in psychological theory and clinical practice? Or is only the more recent biological turn in psychiatry responsible for a revaluation of organicism in expert discourses on the aetiology and treatment of childhood mental illnesses such as enuresis nocturna? Using Ian Hacking’s dynamic nominalism as interpretive framework, the article shows that, in the Dutch case, environmental factors continued to be referred to after the biologising of children’s mental problems, alongside an increasingly important role for brain-related, physiological and genetic causes of enuresis nocturna.

摘要

本文讨论的概念化夜间遗尿由荷兰之间专家Ç 0.1950和1990年，多年来在整个西方的新的子学科发展迅速。今天，尿床被认为是一种由先天因素和后天因素共同引起的精神疾病。即使在战后数十年的心理学理论和临床实践中占主导地位的环保主义中，有机和环境原因是否一直被认为是双胞胎？或者只是最近精神病学的生物学转向负责重新评估有关儿童精神疾病（如夜尿症）的病因和治疗的专家论述中的有机体? 文章以 Ian Hacking 的动态唯名论作为解释框架，表明在荷兰的案例中，环境因素在儿童心理问题生物化后继续被提及，而与大脑相关的、生理和遗传原因导致遗尿症的作用越来越重要。夜曲。
