Abstract

This chapter will help the reader understand the importance of maintaining integrity to the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach and describes tools available for assessing CPS integrity. It includes a brief review of the literature on treatment integrity and discusses CPS integrity at the individual caregiver level (e.g., how do we ensure that a clinician or other caregiver is “doing” CPS well) and at the agency level. Finally, the authors present recommendations for how an individual in an organization can measure, monitor, and improve CPS integrity, based on their experiences assessing CPS integrity in agencies that have implemented CPS site-wide.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Throughout the literature on this topic, the terms integrity and fidelity often are used interchangeably. For the purpose of continuity, we use integrity in this chapter, even if we are reviewing work that has been done under other terms.

  2. 2.

    Throughout this chapter, we will refer to the individual that is the target of CPS as a “client,” with the understanding that in your setting, the client may be better described by “patient,” “student,” “resident,” or something else.

  3. 3.

    Many tools like these are available, for free, from www.thinkkids.org.
