5 Summary and critical aspects of the metaphor theory of Lakoff/Johnson<br />
Despite all the positive aspects there remain some open questions in metaphor<br />
analysis regarding meaning and understanding about the concepts and interpretation<br />

metaphoric concepts regarding thinking and acting and psychological and emotional<br />
aspects of metaphors.<br />
6 Question and Hypothesis<br />
6.1 Question of <strong>Research</strong><br />
The main question of this research is:<br />
„What are the concepts of health for German speaking osteopaths with academic<br />
background?“<br />
In osteopathy, A.T. Still's philosophical statement about finding health has set up<br />
health as the most important principle in defining the profession and its basic<br />
paradigm.<br />
The following questions should be investigated:<br />
What are the metaphors osteopaths use in describing their ideas and<br />
understanding of health and what is the importance of health in osteopathy?<br />
How did professional education and academic training in osteopathy<br />
contribute to this understanding?<br />
What are the pictures, stories, ideas and guiding thoughts for the concepts of<br />
health?
