«Tótem y Tabú» is Sigmund Freud's essay, published by Alianza Editorial in paperback (223 pages, in Spanish).
Freud applies psychoanalysis to anthropology to explain the origin of society and culture: he analyses the horror of incest, the ambivalence towards taboo, animism, magic and totemism, and connects them with the Oedipus complex and parricide in the primitive horde, from which religion, morality and social organisation would derive.
The translation is by Luis López-Ballesteros y de Torres. The work belongs to the collection «Biblioteca fundamental de nuestro tiempo» (no. 79).
Reference work for readers interested in psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology and classics of thought.
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.
