The paper began with reviewing the emergence and the development of brief psychotherapy in the west in the past twenty years. Then the effectiveness and therapeutic factors were investigated through the brief therapy process and outcome research findings. The paper also discussed the paradigm shifts throughout the history of western psychotherapy. The early internal psychological paradigm was shifted to the interactive/systemic theory in 1960’s, and then shifted to the post-modern contextualism in 1980's. The cultural value embedded in the paradigm shifts and the implications to the psycho由erapy profession were also addressed. At the end, a need for developing a new paradigm of psychotherapy for Chinese and eastern societies was called.
