Description

Freud links totem, taboo, and the Oedipus knot to the birth of law, religion, and group life, reading “primitive” ritual beside modern neurosis. Dense, provocative theory. Spoken as usable argument when you want the roots of prohibition and belonging, not a soft self-help take.

Author

Sigmund Freud (born Sigismund Schlomo Freud; 6 May 1856 – 23 September 1939) 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.
