Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is an evidence-based approach for understanding and helping behaviorally challenging children and adolescents. The approach is effective across a variety of settings from homes to schools, police departments, foster care agencies, and clinical facilities such as hospitals and residential programs. This edited book is the first to systematically describe the key components necessary to ensure successful implementation of CPS across such settings. The interested reader will be provided with a concrete framework that will support their task of implementing this approach within their program, organization, and/or system of care. After training literally thousands of providers, educators, and parents in Collaborative Problem Solving and implementing CPS in hundreds of organizations, we believe this text should be a required resource for administrators of any system that is implementing the approach.
