Abstract:

Theoretical psychology has become an international subject and China’s theoretical psychology takes an important position in the development of the world theoretical psychology. In China the older generation psychologists has made great contribution to the development of this subject, and a large number of young and middle-aged scholars have also achieved remarkable results in this field. However, there are still many problems requiring profound consideration and introspection due to the disproportion of its development status in China and the social expectation to it. Generally speaking, it is the lack of originality in China’s research on theoretical psychology that held back the development of psychology in China. In order to improve the level of the originality of Chinese theoretical psychology, the author proposed in this article six vital aspects to achieve it. First, the aim of theoretical research should be brought back to mankind. Second, firm theory faith is the upmost need to create theory innovation. Third, it’s important to advocate critical thinking and encourage creative thinking. Fourth, the theory of psychology should not be separated from the empirical evidence. Fifth, innovation should be encouraged in multiple ways. Sixth, the theory psychologists should strengthen the mutual cooperation to attain more achievement.
