The only Freudian to have been originally trained in folklore and the first psychoanalytic anthropologist to carry out fieldwork, Gza Rcheim (1891-1953) contributed substantially to the worldwide study of cultures. Combining a global perspective with encyclopedic knowledge of ethnographic sources, this Hungarian analyst demonstrates the validity of Freudian theory in both Western and non-Western settings. These seventeen essays, written between 1922 and 1953, are among Rcheim's most significant published writings and are collected here for the first time to introduce a new generation of readers to his unique interpretations of myths, folktales, and legends. From Australian aboriginal mythology to Native American trickster tales, from the Grimm folktale canon to Hungarian folk belief, Rcheim explores a wide range of issues, such as the relationship of dreams to folklore and the primacy of infantile conditioning in the formation of adult fantasy. An introduction by folklorist Alan Dundes describes Rcheim's career, and each essay is prefaced by a brief consideration of its intellectual and bibliographical context.

Geza Roheim was the first anthropologist to accept fully the teachings of psychoanalysis and to apply them to the data of his own discipline. In this volume, he presents a systematic evaluation of modern cultural anthropology, including the work of Mead, Benedict, and Kardiner. He demonstrates the universality of the Oedipus complex and, in doing so, presents fascinating and exhaustive analyses of primitive Australian tribes, the matrilineal culture of the Normanby Islanders, the peopleof Alor, a Brazilian highlands society, the Marquesans, and the Navajo Indians, as well as some extraordinary insights about modern cultures and nations.
