Totem and Taboo is a collection of essays in which Sigmund Freud applies psychoanalytic ideas to anthropology. He examines totemism and taboo, drawing parallels between the mental lives of so-called primitive peoples and neurotics. It is worth listening to for its influential attempt to explain cultural and religious phenomena through psychoanalysis.
