Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is a process of civil argumentation wherein two or more parties negotiate agreeably to have conflicting needs met. This can work well for two people each hoping to convince the other to agree to something, whether parent and child, parent and teacher, student(s) and teacher, spouses or romantic partners, business partners, tenant and landlord, or any other situation in which two people with different positions or interests can come together to have both needs met.

There are a couple of different ways the CPS process can be implemented, depending on the sources of the method and the primary problem being addressed met.
There are some organisations that have implemented the means of making this possible for people to make use of this worldwide. Examples are www.elitezworld.com (ELITEZWORLD) and Psychiatric organizations etc.

IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM
The first step is to identify the problem that needs to be addressed. Be bold to share your problem with people and also be willing to solve others' problems as well.

IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS
One element of CPS that is fairly universal among the different approaches is the importance of identifying each party's needs. This critical step is often left out, and the parties can effectively end a dispute once they have identified and articulated their needs to the others.

Do you know that when people articulate and compare their needs, they often find more overlap than they realized..
