«Tótem y tabú» is Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis essay, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (232 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from psychoanalysis, Freud investigates the origins of social life: totemism, taboo, incest and parricide as keys to social prohibitions. The book relates the mentality of primitive societies to individual psychology and argues that unconscious conflicts weigh on morality, religion and culture.
Work originally published in 1913 as Totem und Tabu. The Alianza edition belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection (number 41), with translation by Luis López-Ballesteros y de Torres.
For readers interested in psychoanalysis, philosophy of culture and anthropology.
Sigmund Freud was an Austrian neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, a clinical method for evaluating and treating pathologies arising from conflicts in the psyche through dialogue between patient and psychoanalyst, and the distinctive theory of mind and human agency derived from it.
