This article is a 30-year retrospective of the emergence of the theme group movement in college counseling centers and in psychotherapy in general. It describes the evolution of interventions in this modality, defines and describes their unique features and approaches, and illustrates, via comparison of two theme groups on grief, the maturation and incorporation of more evidence-based and apt formats and dynamics over that period of development.
