Abstract
Fifteen therapy and support groups in university counseling centers were studied to assess shift in therapeutic factors over time and the relationship between therapeutic factors and interpersonal problems. The levels of therapeutic factors tended to increase over time. Furthermore, significant associations were formed between certain interpersonal problems and perceptions of the therapeutic factors in group therapy. Implications for the conceptualization of clinical dynamics in group therapy and theoretical understanding of group development are discussed.Keywords
