Evidence base for the collaborative problem solving approach

Collaborative Problem Solving is an evidence-based model, one of only a few approaches that has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in a number of different settings.  Please visit Think:Kids for numerous additional CPS research studies in various settings (schools, outpatient therapy, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential treatment programs).


The Collaborative Problem Solving Approach: Outcomes Across Settings
Alisha Pollastri, Larry Epstein, Georgina Heath, & J. Stuart Ablon, 2013

This article reviews all known research on outcomes related to the use of Collaborative Problem Solving in outpatient, inpatient, and residential treatment programs, schools, and juvenile justice facilities through the Summer of 2013.  It gives brief descriptions of the other research articles listed on Think:Kids research webpage(published prior to 2013) as well as a number of unpublished studies that were made known to Think:Kids staff through personal communications.  It is a great place to start, in order to understand the range and scope of research related to CPS.

Problem Solving Pilot Program

Trina Epstein and Jennifer Saltzman-Benaiah, 2010

This Toronto-based study attests to the effectiveness of a parenting group intervention based on the CPS model and evaluated its feasibility and efficacy. Significant improvements in child behavior were reported by both mothers and fathers at the end of the intervention and follow-up. There were also significant reductions in mothers’ stress.
