About the author

Géza Róheim (Hungarian: Róheim Géza) was a psychoanalyst, anthropologist, and ethnologist. His writings about Arrernte and Pitjantjatjara people were used to support Ernest Jones in his debate with Bronisław Malinowski over the existence of the Oedipus complex in matrilineal societies, though his methodology and conclusions were disputed by Wilhelm Reich.
