This document contains three papers from a symposium on emotional intelligence, identity salience, and metaphors in human resource development (HRD). "Applying Client and Consultant Generated Metaphors in HRD: Lessons from Psychotherapy" (Darren Short) reviews some techniques that psychotherapists have devised for using their own metaphors and the metaphoric language of their clients as part of a process for understanding and transforming behavior and explores how they could be transferred to the helping relationship role of HRD consultants in organizations. "Emotional Intelligence: Review and Recommendations for Human Resource Development Research and Theory" (Lisa A. Weinberger) reviews the current state of research in emotional intelligence, explores the applicability of research on emotional intelligence to HRD, and concludes that the study of emotional intelligence and its relationship to leadership, management, teamwork, and team performance are areas ripe for further research in HRD. "Toward a More Harmonized View of Emotion Management: The Influence of Identity Salience" (C. Leanne Wells, Jamie L. Callahan) reviews the control distinction model of emotion management that was proposed by Callahan and McCollum and suggests that the concept of identity plays a useful role in further understanding the application and implications of emotion management in organizations. All three papers contain substantial bibliographies. (MN)
