Regurgitation of food by rumination has rarely been reported in latency-age 
children. A 7-year-old boy had symptoms of rumination, gagging, bruxism, and 
enuresis. During the oppositional stage of development many unresolved conflicts 
had developed between the patient and his parents. Short-term psychotherapy 
which focused on resolution of the power struggles produced rapid remission of 
the symptoms. A two-year follow-up showed no recurrence of difficulty.
