Dr. Ross Greene

Associate Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, author of The Explosive Child and Lost in School.
COLLABORATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING (CPS)
Dr. Greene will describe his approach to working with kids with social, emotional and behavioral challenges called CPS. Rather than viewing these kids as willful, coercive, manipulative, and attention-seeking, he (and research in the neurosciences) suggests that such kids lack crucial cognitive skills. He will discuss ways to identify lagging skills and to start working collaboratively to help them solve the problems giving rise to their challenging behavior.
