Summary "Die Inzestscheu" by Sigmund Freud is a scientific publication written during the early 20th century. This work explores the psychological aspects of incest avoidance, comparing the behaviors and cultural practices surrounding incest in primitive societies, particularly focusing on Australian Aboriginal peoples, with the psychological phenomena observed in neurotics. The text aims to shed light on the parallels between the psychological development of individuals and that of cultures. In this examination, Freud argues that the strong taboos against incest found in primitive societies can be viewed as a reflection of infantile psychology, mirroring unresolved issues present in the psyche of neurotic individuals. He elaborates on the concept of totemism and exogamy—practices in which individuals are forbidden to marry or engage in sexual relations with members of their own totem group. This stark adherence to incest avoidance highlights both the social structure and the psychological mechanisms at play. Freud suggests that the deep-rooted fear of incest and the societal mechanisms designed to prevent it may serve as a crucial factor in understanding human psychology, both in its primitive and neurotic forms.
