About Dr. Greene
Ross W. Greene, Ph.D. is the originator of the Collaborative Problem Solving approach and author of the books, The Explosive Child and Lost at School. He is also an Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, on the professional staff at the
Cambridge Health Alliance, adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech, and Senior Lecturer in the school psychology program in the Department of Education at Tufts University. Dr. Greene is the founder of the non-‐profit organization, Lives in the Balance, which aims to disseminate the CPS model through no-‐cost web-‐based programming and provide support to and advocacy on behalf of caregivers of behaviorally challenging kids. He consults extensively with families, general and special education schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential juvenile detention facilities, and lectures widely throughout the world.
Dr. Ross Greene first described the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach in his book, The Explosive Child, and more recently in his book, Lost at School. Based on research in the neurosciences over the past 30-‐40 years, the empirically supported CPS model posits that challenging behavior is the result of lagging cognitive skills, especially in the domains of flexibility/ adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving. CPS helps adults and kids collaboratively solve the problems precipitating challenging behavior, while simultaneously teaching lagging skills. The model, which represents a dramatic departure from conventional wisdom and practice, has been found to be highly effective in an array of settings including families, general and special education schools, therapeutic group homes, and inpatient, residential, and juvenile detention facilities. Participants in this workshop will leave with an understanding of the underpinnings of the CPS model, along with practical assessment and intervention tools that can be brought back to and used in these diverse settings. Presentation Overview: First Segment
• Key Questions/ Key Themes • Why are challenging kids
challenging? Explanations for challenging behavior
• When are challenging kids challenging? The clash of two forces
• The Spectrum of Looking Bad Second Segment
• Identifying lagging skills and unsolved problems: The ALSUP
• Keeping track: The Plan B Flowchart
Third Segment • Overview of The Plans • Plan B: The fundamentally simple
part • The Empathy step: What’s hard?
Fourth Segment
• The Define the Problem step: What’s hard?
• The Invitation step: What’s hard? • Special Topics
o Implementation in Systems o Kids with Language Processing
and Communication Delays o Medication o Resistance
Presentation Objectives: At the conclusion of the seminar, participants will be able to:
• Describe how different explanations for and interpretations of challenging behavior in kids can lead to dramatically different approaches to intervention, and why conventional reward and punishment procedures may not be effective for many challenging kids
• Identify and assess the various cognitive skills that are central to adaptively handling life’s social, emotional and behavioral challenges
• Identify and prioritize unsolved problems precipitating challenging behavior
• Describe the three basic mechanisms by which adults handle unsolved problems and unmet expectations in kids (Plans A, B, and C) and what is accomplished by each, and the three steps or “ingredients” of Plan B
• Describe how to effectively implement Plan B to solve problems, teach skills, and reduce the frequency and intensity of challenging behavior.
