Copyright/Trademark Thanks for your interest in and enthusiasm for Collaborative Problem SolvingSM! It is very exciting and gratifying that so many mental health professionals, educators, pediatricians, parents, systems, and facilities are utilizing the Collaborative Problem Solving approach, and, of course, heartening that so many challenging kids are benefiting from the approach. Because inaccurate dissemination and implementation compromises the effectiveness of the CPS model and is a disservice to the children and adult caretakers it was created to help, it is important that the model not be altered, watered down, inaccurately or incompletely taught, or otherwise compromised. Thus, those who are presenting, training others in the use of, or practicing the model should be aware of copyright and trademark considerations. The CPS approach was first delineated in Dr. Greene’s book, The Explosive Child, and subsequently in the books Treating Explosive Kids and Lost at School. Please make the appropriate attribution to The Explosive Child so that people are clear about the origin of the model, and, without implying or suggesting affiliation, be sure to include the website for the Center for Collaborative Problem Solving (www.ccps.info) in your presentation materials so that attendees are aware of how to access model updates and other resources. If you intend to present information about the Collaborative Problem Solving approach to an audience, please make explicit the facts that you are not a certified trainer, that you are presenting an overview of the model, and that while you are presenting your best understanding of the model the accuracy of the information you are presenting should not be assumed. Please also make explicit the fact that you hold no affiliation with Dr. Greene or with the Center for Collaborative Problem Solving. Many mental health clinicians are using the CPS model to varying degrees in their clinical practices, and many have attended three-day advanced trainings sponsored by the Center for Collaborative Problem Solving and other organizations. However, it is not possible to attest to any clinicians' proficiency in practicing CPS, nor to any individuals’ proficiency in training systems or facilities in implementing the Collaborative Problem Solving approach. Thus, clinicians who have attended an advanced training should feel free to indicate that they have received training in the CPS approach but should not indicate that they have been certified in any way. A select number of systems and facilities that have received direct training in the CPS approach have been recognized as Model Programs. If your system or facility is implementing the Collaborative Problem Solving approach but has not been recognized as a Model Program, please indicate that the CPS model has influenced the treatment or services that are being provided but that no certification has been rendered. Referencing the Collaborative Problem Solving approach in books, scientific papers, articles, handouts, and other materials is encouraged and appreciated. But the model is not easy to summarize, so Dr. Greene would be pleased to review any materials you may be considering publishing in which the model is referenced or described so as to ensure a high degree of accuracy. * * * * * * * * We do try to keep track of how Collaborative Problem Solving is being used. So if you plan to expose others to the CPS model, are trying to implement the model in your practice, system or facility, or plan to describe the model in handouts or published materials, please complete the form and return it to us. And thanks for helping us promote accurate dissemination and implementation of the CPS model!
