Since the "scientist-practitioner model" was adopted as an ideal training model for counseling professionals in Boulder conference, the integration of research and practice in counseling psychology has been an important issue. However, because of the difference of paradigm of science and practice, the integration between research and practice is not easy. Methodology and terms for counseling research is complicate for counseling practitioners to understand and use. In this paper, specific suggestions are made to bridge the gap between research and practice in youth counseling psychology; choosing research topics applicable to youth counseling practice, encouraging to use diverse research methodology, presenting studies in journals more applicable to counseling practice, doing research in counseling training clinics, and developing on-going partnership between practitioners and researchers.
