Book Description:

Totem and Taboo (1913), first published as a series of four articles between 1912 and 1913, is among Freud’s most dazzling speculative texts. Adducing evidence from "primitive" tribes, neurotic women, child patients traversing the oedipal phase, and speculations by Charles Darwin, James G. Frazer, and other modern scholars, Freud attempts to trap the moment that civilized life began. It stands as his most imaginative venture into the psychoanalysis of culture.
