Contemporary Perspectives on the Freudian Death Drive provides a
sustained discussion of the death drive from the perspective of
different psychoanalytic traditions. Ever since Freud introduced
the notion of the death drive, it has been the subject of intense
debate in psychoanalysis and beyond. The death drive is arguably
the most unsettling psychoanalytic concept. What this concept
points to is more unsettling still. It uniquely illuminates the
forces of destruction and dissolution at work in individuals as
well as in society. This book first introduces Freud's use of the
term, tracing the debates and developments his ideas have led to.
The subsequent essays by leading Viennese psychoanalysts
demonstrate the power of the death drive to illuminate
psychoanalytic theory, clinical practice, and the study of culture.
Since this book originally arose from a conference in Vienna, its
final segment is dedicated to the forced exile of the early
Viennese psychoanalysts due to the Nazi threat. Due to its wide
scope and the many perspectives it offers, this book is a tribute
to the disturbing relevance of the death drive today. Contemporary
Perspectives on the Freudian Death Drive is of special interest to
psychoanalysts, psychotherapists, social and cultural scientists,
as well as anyone intending to understand the sources and
vicissitudes of human destructiveness.
