Freud’s introduction of the Death Drive (1920) presented a conundrum for psychoanalytic theory. He shifted the theory of instincts from opposition between the Ego Instincts and the Sexual Instincts, uniting them into one unit. In Beyond the Pleasure Principle, he transformed this model into that of the Death Instinct and the Sexual Instinct – Eros and Thanatos. Aggression is now considered a component of the Death Drive. Freud’s contribution can enrich our understanding of our clinical work.

Learning Objectives: After attending the presentation, participants will be able to
– Describe the difference between the death drive as a primary instinct and as a regulatory principle of biological and genetic function.
– Discuss the way the aggressive instinct and sexual instinct impact individual and group behavior.
