The problem of the microscopic description of excited states of the even-even open-shell atomic nuclei is considered. A model is formulated which allows one to go beyond the quasiparticle random phase approximation. The physical content of the model is determined by the quasiparticle time blocking approximation (QTBA) which enables one to include contributions of the two-quasiparticle and the two-phonon configurations, while excluding (blocking) more complicated intermediate states. In addition, the QTBA ensures consistent treatment of ground state correlations in the Fermi systems with pairing. The model is based on the generalized Green function formalism (GGFF) in which the normal and the anomalous Green functions are treated in a unified way in terms of the components of generalized Green functions in a space that is double the size of the usual single-particle space. Modification of the GGFF is considered in the case when the many-body nuclear Hamiltonian contains two-, three-, and other many-particle effective forces.
