Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is a behavior management approach developed for children with social, emotional, and behavioral challenges. The CPS approach—originated by Dr. Ross W. Greene in his book, The Explosive Child (1998; 2001; 2005; 2010), then described again in a later book for mental health clinicians (Treating Explosive Kids, 2006) and for educators in his latest book Lost at School (2008, 2010)—views behavioral challenges as a form of developmental delay and seeks to create fundamental changes in interactions between kids with behavioral challenges and their adult caregivers. While studied[1] primarily in children with oppositional defiant disorder, it has been suggested for behavior management in youth with a variety of behavioral challenges, including youth with bipolar disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Asperger's disorder, and conduct disorder, and has been implemented and studied in families, schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities.
