Abstract: Thematically, this issue of the Romanian Journal of Psychoanalysis is the continuation of the previous issue’s works, with both issues being subsumed under the heading Groups and Institutions. In this issue, the authors analyse the group and the institution as actors of psychological life, questioning the functioning of the small group in the parent-child or analyst-analysand relationship, the collective groupality of the totalitarian system, the fundamental role of the group in the constitution and knowledge of individuality as well as the role of the group and the institution in the prevention and therapeutic assistance of psychological suffering.
