This paper reviews the development of military psychology in Taiwan from its early beginnings in post-World War II to 2007. According to the analysis of 234 military psychology researches, it was found that: (1) In the early days, researches of military psychology in Taiwan was imported from U.S.. The emphasis of research is psychological testing then. There was no local military psychology until the set-up of Fu Hsing Kang College in 1982. (2) The discipline of researchers substantially influenced the scope and range of military psychology in Taiwan. (3) The quantity of military psychology research varies greatly year by year, and the quality of research is not high enough as expected. (4) The majority of researches focus on counselling \/ clinical psychology and organizational behavior issues. It is worthy to pay attention to that many important military psychology issues, such as training and psychological warfare, are ignored. (5) The issues of research is too scattered to accumulate fruitful results. (6) Most researches are deficient in considering the uniqueness of military context. (7) There is a gap between the research and practice of military psychology. (8) Some military psychology researches are unpublished because of confidential reasons, which restrict the visibility and peer review of them. Based on the above findings, suggestions for future military psychology study in Taiwan are addressed. In addition, the authors also suggested that military psychology in Taiwan should be divided into five domains: (1) counselling and clinical psychology, (2) organizational behavior, (3) training and development, (4) psychological testing and assessment, and (5) mentality in battlefield.<\/p>\n
