Widely acknowledged to be one of Freud's greatest cultural works, when "Totem and Taboo" was first published in 1913, it caused outrage. Thorough and thought-provoking, the study remains the fullest exploration of Freud's most famous themes. Family, society, religion - they're all put on the couch.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0393001431, Paperback)

This landmark collection of essays by the father of psychoanalysis explores the conflict between primitive feelings and the demands of civilization. Freud identifies a strong unconscious inclination as the basis of taboo, a forbidden behavior, and traces its earliest appearance to the childhood development of totemism.
