Review : This book is based on the
belief that there is a fundamental distinction between Freud Js drive
theory and the major trends within contemporary psychoanalytic thinking
(some of which retain the language of "drive"). Freud views mind as
fundamentally monadic; something inherent, wired in, pre structured, is pushing
from within. Mind for Freud emerges in the form of endogenous pressures.
Relational-model theories view mind as fundamentally dyadic and interactive;
above all else, mind seeks contact, engagement with other minds. Psychic
organization and structures are built from the patterns which shape those interactions. Many contemporary authors retain the term
"drive" (or "instinct") but alter its meaning to enable
them to employ and develop relational model concepts (Winnicott and Loewald, for
instance). This tends to confuse efforts to ascertain what of Freud's
understanding has been preserved and what has been fundamentally changed.
Further, much of the rhetoric within psychoanalytic controversies involves what
are essentially disputes over language, in which different words are embraced or
vilified, depending on one's political persuasion: "drive,"
"interpersonal," "in trapsychic," "social," and so
on.
