Stuart Ablon, PhD

Welcome to this online version of Think:Kids introductory training entitled, Parenting, Teaching and Treating Challenging Kids. In this training, I describe our version of the collaborative problem solving model we’ve been developing for years for working with very challenging kids. I also present research and some of the evidence base supporting our model.

I’m the Director of Think:Kids in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. I’m also Associate Clinical Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

Thanks for checking out our online learning place. If you get into it, I’m sure I will be reading, observing and commenting on your work. I look forward to learning alongside you.

Welcome!

You have arrived at the online home of our introductory Think:Kids training. As you know, our approach is based on the understanding that challenging kids lack the skill, not the will, to behave well. Unlike traditional models of discipline, we avoid the use of power, control and motivational procedures and focus instead on teaching kids the skills they need to succeed.

Who is this Course For?

We use a systematic, research-based approach to working with challenging kids that relies on collaborative problem-solving and is extremely effective.

We designed this self-paced online course to help educators, psychologists, family therapists, clinical social workers, and counselors develop a deep understanding of the Think:Kids approach.



It is for people who want to learn how to help kids develop skills they need. It is an introductory course, but it is not abstract and general. It is highly specific in its description of assessment targets, treatment ingredients and even the language that is most likely to be successful.
