This is a retrospective audit of the therapy outcome of 108 children with soiling and their families. Fifty‐four children were treated by externalizing and 54 comparison children and families were treated by the usual methods in the same clinic. The results from the externalizing group were better and compared favourably with standards derived from previous studies of soiling. Externalizing was rated as much more helpful by parents at follow‐up.
