Raising the Explosive Child

Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., is a clinical  psychologist and the originator of the innovative, evidence-based approach called  Collaborative & Proactive Solutions  (CPS), as described in his influential books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost & Found, and Raising  Human Beings. He also developed and executive produced the award-winning  documentary film The Kids We Lose, released  in 2018. Dr. Greene was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20  years and is now founding director of the non-profit Lives in the Balance. He  is also currently adjunct Professor in the Department of Psychology at  Virginia Tech and in the Faculty of Science at the University of Technology  in Sydney, Australia. Dr. Greene has worked with several thousand kids with  concerning behaviors and their caregivers, and he and his colleagues have  overseen implementation and evaluation of the CPS model in countless schools,  inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention  facilities, with dramatic effect: significant reductions in recidivism,  discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, and use of restraint and  seclusion. Dr. Greene lectures throughout the world and lives in Freeport,  Maine.
