O seksualnoj teoriji / Totem i tabu

Due to the prevalence of perverse tendencies, the idea that the predestined towards perversions is actually an original and universal feature of the human sexual drive was imposed on Freud. He believed that he could establish this original predestination even in childhood. Among the forces that determine the orientation of the sexual urge, he highlighted shame, revulsion, compassion and social constructions of morality and authority. Thus, he recognizes in every deviation from a normal sexual life an inhibition of development and lagging behind in the developmental stages of childhood.

"Once upon a time, exiled brothers united, killed their father and ate him, thus ending the father's horde". This is exactly how Freud summarizes the great scientific myth that he himself constructed to explain the emergence of civilized humanity. Relying on anthropological, linguistic and clinical material, Freud tries to explain collective psychology with the help of psychoanalysis. Primitive man, the child and the neurotic become the subjects of psychoanalysis, which, thanks to Freud's virtuosity, becomes a general theory about man and humanity.
