Description

Explore a profound reanalysis of psychological theory in Oedipus in the Trobriands. In this scholarly work, Melford E. Spiro challenges the established arguments made by Bronislaw Malinowski regarding the matrilineal society of the Trobriand Islands. While Malinowski suggested that this society produced a unique matrilineal complex different from the Freud Oedipus complex, Spiro provides a rigorous examination of the data to suggest otherwise. Through a detailed study, Spiro investigates whether the Oedipus complex is restricted to certain social structures or if it possesses a more universal presence. This book is an essential resource for students and professionals in the fields of anthropology and sociology. It offers a deep look into the relationship between social organization and psychological development, making it a significant addition to any academic library focused on medical, legal, and social sciences.
