High level of alarm is characteristic of modern organizational structures and behavior models. Leaders, their teams and institutes often get stuck in infinite cycles of transitional states. As a result of multiple reorganization of team, departmental structures and the organization of the management, symptoms of violation of subordination and a cumulative trauma are shown. The Absence of reliable structures in surrounding conditions and continuous change of authorities leads to the fact that the organizations and their employees regress to primitive means of protection with the increasing feeling of existential uncertainty. The Pressure to globalize, modernize and changes for prevention of delay of activity have given birth to the organizations where fear of reduction and deprivation of powers disturb heads and employees it is more, than their direct tasks. It isn't surprising that activity of the majority of teams is followed by fight against fear not to cope. On a scene and in a role heads speak as "false self", and out of a scene, for example, at a therapy session, they open "true self". Groups work in the conditions of dependence or in the mode of public coordination, and show the true feelings only when meet over coffee or gossip in the corridors. It is obvious that tension between the "personal I" in a private situation which anthropologists also call "sacral" and "public I" in unsafe, "wordly" conditions become just intolerable. The role conflicts are the reason that the considerable number of effective leaders and members of team look for a shelter, assuming a role of the patient. There is a need of formation of the special model of interaction with this or that group in the course of the group psychotherapy, and also a measurement and analytical study of the data obtained as a result of group psychoanalysis.
