Death Drive in Clinical Psychoanalysis
Rudge, Ana Maria
Death Drive in Clinical Psychoanalysis - 2007.
77
Considering the relative indefinition of the notion of death drive, as well as the great controversies it provoked, the author suggests that when Freud first presented this notion he only signaled his concern with clinical facts that had not yet been taken conveniently into account. Only later, with the development of the theory of the superego, he succeded in obtaining the theoretical tools for a clinical approach of the cases in which the attraction for suffering and pain is central.
