This project was carried out in order to restore the model of alienation in the most relevant form, introducing it into the field of sociology and interpersonal communication. Research objectives: 1) To establish the origin of the theory of alienation. 2) Identify the main elements of the alienation model. 3) Identify ways to apply the theory of alienation to society, from the point of view of Marxism, as the paradigm that first applied the alienation model to society 4)Identify the role of alienation in socialization 5) To establish the form of the theory of alienation in communication from the point of view of psychoanalysis The project examines various implications of the theory of alienation: its genesis in philosophy, the Marxist tradition that dealt with the role of alienation in global society, the role of alienation in the primary socialization of the child, and the model of alienation in psychoanalysis. At each stage, common and unique features were identified. As the most important common features, two such as historicism and symbolism were identified, it was traced how they work at each of the stages and their relationship. The key to building the final model were Loboc's theory of Myth and Lacan's theory of Desire. It has been shown that they follow the same features that are found in the classical model of alienation. In the end, the model built on the personal level, which we derived from psychoanalysis, was combined with the Marxist tradition that explains global society. As a further development of this direction, it would be interesting to consider various specific communicative forms within the framework of the learned model of alienation.
