[Ailist] AI for families and individuals

[Sue Hammond]

Look into Brief Therapy or Solution Focus Therapy. It is parallel to AI 
and has been used for all of these. For example: exploring what was 
happening when a smoker could avoid a cigarette, or a person actually 
did take a walk etc.
They also use the "miracle" question; "If I could wave a magic wand and 
your (problem) was gone, what would your life look like?
