Totem and Taboo

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 behaviour, and traces its earliest appearance to the childhood development of totemism.
