The theories of group dynamics, object relations, group-analytic therapy, social perception, sociometry and sociodrama, family and transgenerational therapy, group identity, group conflicts, role interaction, group subjectivity, group reflection and other, where an important place in the system of concepts take many shapes and forms of social interaction in groups are discuss. Special consideration is given to conceptual approaches, which allow the existence of group psychological phenomena, in particular – the group unconscious. In the context of the topic, three approaches are the most important: the group psychoanalysis, humanistic group psychotherapy and systemic family therapy. For the first approach, the key concept is “group unconscious”, for the second approach – “tele”, for the third approach – “knowing field.” Phenomena of group mind are differently described by these concepts.
