Summary "Totem und Tabu" by Sigmund Freud is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The text applies principles of psychoanalysis to unresolved issues in cultural psychology, specifically focusing on the concepts of totemism and taboo. Freud's work aims to explore the connections between the psychological dynamics of so-called primitive societies and those of neurotics, offering insights into human behavior through a comparative lens. The opening of the work introduces the central themes surrounding the concepts of totem and taboo, which Freud examines as reflections of psychological principles common in both primitive societies and neurotic individuals. He suggests that the customs and psychological practices of these so-called wild cultures may provide valuable insights into our own understanding of societal norms and individual behaviors. Freud begins by discussing the social organization of Australian aboriginal tribes, emphasizing their strict adherence to prohibitions against incest and the significance of totemism in their societal structures, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of psychological phenomena linked to cultural practices.
