The simultaneity principle
The anticipatory principle
The poetic principle
The Positive Principle of AI, p.66 2nd Ad - ANSWER-Positive energy and emotion
disrupt downward spirals, building the aspirations of people into a dynamic force for
transformational change. Negative energy and emotion associated with identifying,
analyzing, fixing or correcting weaknesses lack sufficient force to transform systems
and propel them in new directions. At best, such root-cause analyses will only
correct the problems. At worst, they will cause a downward spiral.
The Constructionist Principle of AI, p.66 2nd Ad - ANSWER-Through our
conversations and interactions with other people, we don't just interpret and
understand the world of experience; we also create the reality in which we live.
"Words create worlds" is the motto of AI in general and this principle in particular.
The Simultaneity Principle, p. 66 2nd Ad - ANSWER-Interactions become positive
the instant we ask a positive question, tell a positive story, or share a positive
reflection. Positive questions and reflections are themselves the change we seek.
They are not just a prelude to change; they are change. They don't just begin a
process that leads to a positive future. Rather, they simultaneously create a positive
present.
The Anticipatory Principle, p.66-67 2nd Ad - ANSWER-When we anticipate a positive
future, everything tilts in that direction. Equipped with a glimpse of what things look
like at their very best, we become more creative, resourceful, and resilient, finding
ways to make things happen. Our questions and reflections flow from the outlook we
hold. In the absence of hope, it's hard to seek out what we want, much less celebrate
what we get.
The Poetic Principle, p.67 2nd Ad - ANSWER-What we focus on grows: When we
focus on problems, we get more problems. When we focus on possibilities, we get
more possibilities. This principle connects hope with mindfulness, and intention with
attention.

Constructionist, Anticipatory, Poetic, Positive, Simultaneity
Describe the differences and similarities between AI and MI. - ANSWER-Both

complementary approaches, best used in tandem to generate outstanding client
results. Start by making the empathic application of AI your first move with clients. MI

discrepancy and supporting self-efficacy are clearly addressed in the AI model.
What is rolling with resistance? (MI) p.80-82 2nd Ad - ANSWER-Whenever we find
ourselves tempted to confront resistance directly, such as by arguing, diagnosing,
fixing, or any other communication pattern that fosters resistance, it is important to
take a deep breath, to give ourselves empathy, and then to respectfully explore the
client's underlying feelings, needs, and desires.
