“Totem and Taboo” is one of the most interesting and conceptual works by Sigmund Freud, a Jewish-Austrian neurologist, known for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis for treating psychopathology through dialogue between a patient. According to the author’s words, the book appears to be the first attempt to apply the point of view and the results of psychoanalysis to unascertained problems, concerning the psychology of primitive culture and religion. Freud, in a scale analysis and research, sets out a theory of origin of moral and religious regulations.
The book, still remaining an utter classic of modern psychoanalysis, deserves rapt attention of the reader.
