= Grinstein 221; Norman Library F85: "Freud's Totem and taboo was originally published as four essays in the psychiatric journal Imago, under the general title Resemblances between the psychic lives of savages and neurotics; the four essays were titled "The horror of incest," "Taboo and emotional ambivalence," "Animism, magic and the omnipotence of thoughts," and "The return of totemism in childhood." This important work represents Freud's first attempt to analyze some of the unsolved problems of social psychology from a psychoanalytic standpoint; in the final essay, he concluded that "the beginnings of religion, morality, social life and art [meet] in the Oedipus complex."
