If youdon't know your incest taboo from your Oedipal complex, andyou want to understand more about the culture we're living in, then Totem and Taboo is the book to read. Review 'In Totem and Taboo an unexpected sidelight is thrown on the mental processes of the great originator of psychoanalysis.' - The Times Literary Supplement 'Relations between social anthropology and psychology are still ill-defined and unstable. But in any resolution of them the work of psychoanalysts must be taken very seriously into account. It is very useful, then, to have this new translation of the pioneer work.' - Nature 'Freud had a strong element of the artist in his composition. Nearly all his work was well translated into English, with one glaring exception: - Totem and Taboo. Now, at last . . . justice has been done . . . The book itself is one of the most fascinating and characteristic, and also of the most speculative, in the whole Freudian canon.' Sigmund Freud was born in Freiberg, Moravia, in 1856.Whenhe was four, his father, a Jewish wool merchant, moved the family toVienna. Concentrating on the study of the human nervous system andhuman personality, Freud entered the University of Vienna medicalschool in 1873 where he studied under physiologist Ernest Brucke.After earning a degree in medicine, he completed his internship andresidency at the Vienna General Hospital.In 1885, he was awarded aone-year fellowship to study in Paris with neurologist Jean-MartinCharcot, an authority on hysteria. Freud returned to Vienna in 1886and established a medical practice, specializing in nervous diseases.He worked with physician Josef Breuer on the treatment of hysteriawith hypnosis. Freud believed that repressed and forgottenimpressions underlie all abnormal mental states and that revelation ofthese impressions often effects a cure.Convinced that repressedsexual urges play a major role in many forms of neurosis, he developedthe Oedipal complex theory, which focuses on emotional and sexualcomplications between parents and children. In 1902, Freud organizeda weekly discussion group, which became the Vienna Psycho-AnalyticalSociety in 1908.Among its members were Carl Jung and Alfred Adler.By 1911, the society had dissolved. Freud taught neuropathology atthe University of Vienna from 1902 to 1938, and continued his privatepsychoanalytical practice.It was during this period that he wrotemany of his major works.When the Nazis invaded Austria in 1938, theyburned Freud's books and banned his theories.Friends helped himescape to England, where he died in 1939.--This text refers to the Paperback edition.
