«Tótem y tabú» is Sigmund Freud's essay on psychoanalysis and anthropology, published by Alianza in paperback (206 pages, in Spanish).
Freud applies psychoanalysis to anthropology to explain the origin of society: the horror of incest, the ambivalence towards taboo, animism, magic and totemism appear linked to the Oedipus complex and to parricide in the primitive horde, the basis of religion, morality and civilized institutions.
This essay was written in 1912. It belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo collection, Biblioteca Freud, with a translation by Luis López-Ballesteros de Torres.
For readers interested in psychoanalysis and in Sigmund Freud's theories on society and culture.
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.
