I am very interested in connecting with academicians and researchers out there who wish to examine and conduct research using my protocol. I will assist any researchers and students as best I am able with my time and ideas. I lack financial resources and am attempting to finance this approach as best I can from ongoing sales of the manuals.

A Comment by a Chicago Area Practitioner:

Lisa Kaplin, Psy.D., is a young psychologist who is working with my protocol. She is a mother who used my protocol for her own child. We are finding that feedback to physicians, schools, and county health departments by parents about the success of our treatments is proving to be highly effective in gaining more referrals. Here is her comment:

I am a private practitioner who has been working with Dr. Collins and the soiling solutions program for the last year. After numerous families had contacted both me and other professionals that I work with about encopresis and eneuresis problems, I realized there was a true need for more therapists to have specialized training in this area. The soiling solutions program is easy to learn and easy to apply with clients. Dr. Collins is wonderfully supportive and available to answer questions and give advice. All of the clients that I have seen have been very successful with the program and have referred other families to me. The soiling solutions program has been an excellent addition to my practice and has allowed me to become a specialist in a unique area of child psychology.

I am not licensing any exclusive arrangements with providers who wish to utilize the Soiling Solutions protocols in their areas. My protocol is open and available for the widest possible use.

Manual Alone or in Bulk:

Professionals may simply purchase the Clean Kid or Dry Bed Manual for their own child or begin applying it in their own work. To encourage your use of the manuals we offer special rates for professionals who purchase our manuals in bulk (two or more).

I would suggest that you have parents order their own copies or buy them for yourself in bulk from Soiling Solutions via a telephone call or store order to retail or give to your clients.  Two (2) to ten (10) manuals would cost $35 each, not including Postage and Handling Charges.  Eleven (11) or more manuals would cost $25 each, not including Postage and Handling Charges.  I would mix in the Dry Bed Manual (with specipan measurement device) for any quantity you desire at the same rates. In addition, you or the parents, will have special access to the Soiling Solutions Parents' Forum upon emailing me at my email address in the footer below. See below for a special email forum which will be exclusive for CKM Professionals.

Free Consultations for Professionals:

The Clean Kid Manual is now pretty much in its completed form for children over 4-years of age. I am seeking the widest and most rapid spread of the Soiling Solutions protocol possible. Therefore, I am placing no restrictions on providers other than that they demonstrate that they provide licensed healthcare services to their community when they order manuals. I ask that they provide me such information as is applicable for me to check out their public availability and licensed status which I can google online. You MUST provide this information in the text box on our order form at our store. I will also be glad to discuss cases with such providers who wish to maintain anonymity for their patients at no charge. Parents can pay me directly for my consultation services, but I really prefer that my protocol go beyond my personal availability as a future legacy. It is my preference to just sell the manuals for the widest possible distribution, give talks, and administer the forums I operate.

Viewing the Exclusive Clean Kid Parents' Forum:

Parents on the exclusive CKM Parents' Forum invite you onto their forum to see their spontaneous exchanges with one another. They don't mind sharing the rewards and pains of applying the Clean Kid protocol. With your order of two or more manuals you may request joining the forum to observe and learn. Professionals are asked to be observers ("lurk") only and not to address the CKM parents forum directly. Any communiques or concerns you want to address to that list must go through me alone. I am not a control freak here, the parents really prefer a parent to parent exchange and can get very upset with a professional coming on other than myself (which I rarely do). I view the CKM Parents' Forum as a kind of "Clinical Lab" and the members know that and have agreed to "guests" to lend you understanding. They are sometimes alienated from physicians and psychologists even as they may respect you. They want you to see what they are going through and why they veiw the CKM Protocol as seminal and the first real solution to encopresis that they have encountered. You may also find it of interest to check out www.encopresis.org/forums which is open to the public and which I regard as a "Natural Lab" to see how non-CKM parents are coping and their relationships to helping professionals. Finally, I do own encopresis.com and I am developing a contact list there for encopresis centers and practices. Please contact me if you wish to be listed there.

Community Consultations:

I will give talks to professional organizations and the public in exchange for per diem arrangements and a token honorarium.  I am comfortable talking with practicing physican groups, medical centers, academicians, psychologists, etc. and constantly work on my presentation. Check the home page of this site for when I may be more available in certain states or countries. Call and speak with me personally to make arrangements. I am willing to be hosted in private homes (non-smoking).
