Treating Explosive Kids:  The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach by Ross W. Greene and Stuart Ablon, 2005.
This is the first comprehensive presentation for clinicians of the groundbreaking approach popularized in Dr. Greene’s acclaimed parenting guide, The Explosive Child.  This new work provides a detailed framework for effective, individualized intervention with highly oppositional children and their families.  Many vivid examples and Q&A sections show how to identify the specific cognitive factors that contribute to explosive and noncompliant behavior, remediate these factors, and teach children and their adult caregivers how to solve problems collaboratively.  The book also describes challenges that may arise in implementing the model and provides clear and practical solutions.
