Abstract: Explains how conceptual metaphor offers a communicative tool to help counselors respect and understand clients' conceptual systems. States that metaphor is an indispensable dimension of human understanding and experience, and it allows for abstract ideas to be understood in terms of more concrete experiences. Provides counselors with theoretical foundation for use of conceptual metaphor and offers case studies. (Author/JDM)
