This article explores the early stages of the debate between ethnology and psychoanalysis through the work of W.H.R. Rivers (1824-1922). Rivers, initially trained as a physician and neurologist, became interested in anthropology through his participation in the Torres Straits expedition. He later developed a distinct approach to ethnological research, influenced by his psychological background. The article examines Rivers's theoretical contributions, particularly his concept of "social structure" and its relationship to psychological processes. It also analyzes the influence of his work on subsequent debates between ethnology and psychoanalysis, highlighting the complex interplay between these two disciplines in the early 20th century.
