The establishment of the Taiwan Guidance and Counseling Association is about to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The development and contribution of Taiwan's Guidance and counseling profession has reached an unprecedented height. The Chinese Journal of Guidance and Counseling hopes to record and celebrate this professional development. At the glorious moment, the special issue of "Review of Taiwan's Counseling and Counseling Professional Development" was planned. Through the process of invitation submit papers, the outstanding scholars in Taiwan who are working on guidance and counseling were invited to jointly write a review of Taiwan's Guidance and counseling professional development from different professional research fields. The special issue is published in the current journal based on the invited papers. This review of the special issue consists of five papers on the professional development and exploration of the topic of family therapy, spiritual counseling, narrative research, psychological displacement and ethical research. These five papers focused on the local development and reflection of Taiwan's counseling and counseling professions. They not only carefully reviewed the past developments of counseling and counseling in family therapy, spiritual counseling, narrative research, psychological displacement and ethical research. They also deeply reflect on their shortcomings, and point out the possible future development direction. The years of a Jiazi (sixty years) are suitable for retrospective and forward-looking. Under the influence of internationalization and indigenization, the special issue also delineates how the guidance and counseling professions should develop in Taiwan and what role they would play in Asia and the world. Finally, the paper proposed that the strategies to inherit Chinese culture and integrate Chinese culture with Western culture are positive development directions for Taiwan's guidance and counseling profession in the future.
