This is a literature review on the scientist-practitioner model, describing how the model was created and developed and what issues were discussed up to date. The split between the science and the practice in graduate program as well as in the real world, and the different paradigms between the scientists and the practitioners were some of the problems that the model has been criticized for. Strategies to deal with such problems were discussed. The paper discusses how the scientist-practitioner model relates to the counselor training and education in Korea, also suggesting ways to adapt the model to fit the current situation. It also emphasized the need for a consistent dialogue among the professionals in counseling psychology regarding the training, the real life application, and the future of counseling psychology in Korea.
