Repetition, the Compulsion to Repeat, and the Death Drive is a
critical examination of Freud's uses of repetition as they lead to
the compulsion to repeat and his infamous death drive. Like perhaps
no other concept, repetition drove Freud to an understanding of
human behavior through development of models of the human mind and
a method of treating neurotic behavior. This book comprises three
parts. Part I, "Some Early Uses of 'Repetition' in Psychoanalysis,"
examines repetition both in clinical therapy and in Freud's use of
phylogenetic explanation. Part II, composed of three chapters,
outlines Freud's journey to his vaunted death drive, examines
Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and analyzes Freud's use of
compulsion to repeat and the death drive post 1920. Last, Part III
is a critical analysis of Freud on repetition and the death drive,
discusses why Freud was so wedded to his controversial death drive,
and what can be salvaged from Freud's observations and
speculations. Here readers will find that Holowchak, qua
philosopher, and Lavin, qua clinician, have different answers when
it comes to the death drive.
