Collaborative Problem Solving for Mental Health Professionals and Parents

J. Stuart Ablon and Alisha R. Pollastri, authors of The School Discipline Fix, present this Quick Reference Guide to their Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach for changing child behavior in mental health and home settings. This must-have resource distills the multistep approach into six easy-to-follow panels, in the convenient form of an 8.5??11 laminated card for in-the-moment reference.

Here, clinical staff, parents, guardians, and other CPS trainees will find crucial information about the guiding philosophy of the approach; the cognitive skills that contribute to children’s behavior; the key aspects of a CPS assessment; information on planning and prioritizing the treatment; and step-by-step instructions for completing CPS itself.
