«Tótem y tabú» is the classic psychoanalytic essay by Sigmund Freud, published by RBA Coleccionables in hardback (222 pages, in Spanish).
Freud applies psychoanalysis to the study of primitive societies and analyses totemism, taboo, magic and religion. He draws parallels between the mentality of the «savages» and neurotics, and addresses instincts, mourning and melancholia, as well as the origin of morality, the family and social organisation.
From RBA's Library of Great Thinkers, with an introduction by Andreu Grau Arau and a translation by Luis López-Ballesteros. Includes «Los instintos y sus destinos» and «Duelo y melancolía».
For readers interested in psychoanalysis, philosophy and anthropology who want to approach a key work by Freud.
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.
