In recent years western psychologists have severely criticized the approaches of psychology development. In general, main reasons that lead to the predicaments of psychology development include: 1) the discrepancy between philosophical psychology and scientific psychology which not only fails to explain human nature but also checks the growth of the right conditions for science; 2) the advocacy of natural science and the lack of an independent consciousness; and 3) the emphasis on scientific methods and the neglect of human nature, which trapped the development onto a procrustean bed. To foster the future development of psychology at home, an out-and-out westernization is definitely not a feasible approach. On the contrary, it is necessary to tap the cream of western psychology on the foundation of indigenous culture, so that researchers and psychological professionals can create both the basic and applied psychologies of our own. The author worked out a four-competence instruction project with and eye to arouse the interest in the research and development of applied psychology with an indigenous orientation.<\/p>\n
