In contrast to most English epitaphs, in the Spanish examples this death-as-a-rest conceptualisation explicitly associates the source domain with the afterlife: the rest is tinged with a deep religious sense through prepositional phrases like en el Senor ('in the Lord'), en la Paz del Senor ('in the Peace of the Lord') or en los brazos del Senor ('in the arms of the Lord').
The euphemistic force of this conceptualisation is based on experiential correlation through the primary metaphor STATES ARE LOCATIONS whereby a state (i.e., being dead) is equated with a particular location (i.e., being with the Lord).
It is interesting to note that in (9) there is a combined conceptualisation of DEATH IS A JOURNEY AND DEATH IS A JOYFUL LIFE, the "happier, holy life" conceived as the destination of the journey the deceased embarks on, demonstrating that conceptual metaphors do not always perform their euphemistic function in isolation.
That said, some conceptual representations are in fact culture-dependent, that is, subject to the pressure of the cultural context, (10) and this influences and, in some cases, takes precedence over embodiment in the course of metaphorical conceptualisation (Koveces 2010: 199).
That death is a heavily culture-dependent phenomenon can be clearly seen in the conceptualisation MORIR ES CAER POR DIOS Y POR ESPANA ('to die is to fall for God and Spain'), typical of Spanish war epitaphs.
The source domain of this conceptualisation is closely linked to the religious and political impositions in the years that followed the victory of Franco's troops.
Significant contributors to the field of individual case conceptualisation in cognitive therapy include Judith Beck (1995), Freeman (1992), Muran and Segal (1992), and Persons (1989, 1993, 1997).
(1985) has developed a workable diagrammatic cognitive case conceptualisation, which has considerable clinical utility.
(1995) suggests it is best to start with the bottom half of the conceptualisation diagram, where the therapist records three typical situations in which the client has experienced a high level of negative affect.

The model presented here draws heavily on J.Beck's (1993) cognitive conceptualisation diagram and Koerner and Linehan's (1997) flowchart diagram and chain analysis.
