“…Over the past several decades, theorists have debated about a central identity that would unify the diverse members of the counseling profession (Hanna and Bemak 1997;Heck 1990;Ivey and Van Hesteren 1990;Kelly 1996;McAuliffe and Eriksen 1999;Robinson 1990;Seiler and Messina 1979;Steenbarger 1990Steenbarger , 1991Van Hesteren and Ivey 1990;Weikel and Palmo 1989).

The author takes the position that the foundational value of the counseling profession is an ethic of appreciation for human differences. The professional tool that is used to actualize this value is language. In this regard, the philosophical distinction between copying and coping conceptualizations of language is overviewed. The author argues that the value of the counseling profession is optimally actualized when a coping conceptualization of language is adopted. Implications for current ideological movements and the future of the profession are discussed.

A parable for students is offered to illustrate worldview manifestations and their relevance for professional identity.
