Totem and Taboo

Totem and Taboo by Sigmund Freud is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the connections between the psychological lives of primitive societies and the neuroses found in modern individuals, primarily focusing on concepts of totemism and taboo as they relate to sexuality and social organization. Freud’s analysis aims to uncover the origins of these cultural phenomena and their implications for understanding human psychology.
