The author studies the life path and scientific and organizational activities of a prominent social scientist and humanitarian G.M. Andreeva against the background of an analysis of the ways of the post-war formation of Soviet social psychology.

Generalization of her teaching experience in Russian and foreign universities and its theoretical and methodological foundations allowed G.M.
