[Ailist] AI for families and individuals

[Christine Whitney Sanchez]

Hi James,

You might enjoy the attached "Interview with My Valentine."  I initially
wrote it as a Valentine's gift for my husband but have shared it with others
who tell me that it works well in any relationship.

When I first learned Appreciative Inquiry from Diana Whitney, I was still a
practicing psychotherapist.  I used AI with individual, relationship and
group counseling.  The AI interview was a great way to conduct the final
session with a client.  It was always uplifting for both of us.

Warm holiday wishes from a sunny Phoenix morning, 

Christine

Subject: [Ailist] AI for families and individuals

I am new to the listserve and am interested in the possibility of using an
AI-based intervention with families (and possibly
individuals) who need to make positive changes in their health behaviors.
They may be obese, have heart disease or diabetes, eat an 
unhealthy diet, use tobacco, have a sedentary life-style, etc.       

Does anyone know if any work has been done to adapt the AI organizational
change model for use with families or individuals, either for health
behavior change or even for for general psychotherapy? 

Thank you -

Jim Werner
