Collaborative Problem Solving

Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) has also been shown to be effective for children
with ADHD and ODD. (Green et al., 2004) CPS is a cognitive-behavioral model of
intervention. The CPS model proposes that challenging behavior should be understood
and handled in the same manner as other recognized learning disabilities. In other words,
difficult children and adolescents lack some crucial cognitive skills essential to handling
frustration and mastering situations requiring flexibility and adaptability. The goal of
intervention is to teach these skills. In the CPS model, this is accomplished by helping
adults and challenging children work toward mutually satisfactory solutions to the
problems underlying behavioral difficulties.

In my opinion, the The Total Transformation Program incorporates both aspects of these psychosocial treatments and
does it in a way that educates and supports parents as they learn to understand and deal
with their child’s behaviors. The materials are also reinforcing and available for parents
to review as necessary, as opposed to a session that may provide few written materials
and concrete examples for the parent.ADD ADHD, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bd, behavior disorder, behavior problem, collaborative problem solving, cps, disruptive behavior disorders, ed, EDBD, emotional disorder, james lehman, jim lehman, legacy parenting, legacy publishing, ODD, oppositional defiance disorder, parent training, pediatrician, pediatrics, pt, total transformation, total transformation behavior, total transformation course, total transformation program, total transformation review, TTP. multimodal treatment
