Sinopse

In this work, Joel Birman offers a synthetic reading of Drives and Their Destinies and clarifies the contemporary references in Freud's text that, for us, 21st-century readers, seem distant or unknown.

The author highlights the most important points of the essay, and points out why it has become almost an axiom of psychoanalytic thought.

Drive is a limiting concept, residing on the border between what is inherent to the body (somatic) and what is inherent to the soul (psychic). The drive's possible destinies—transformation into its opposite, return to the self, repression, and sublimation—make humankind's path toward satisfying their needs much less obvious. As Freud taught, human beings are marked by an inescapable drive dualism.

It is hoped that the reader will find in Drives and Their Destinies: From the Body to the Psychic a pleasurable and enlightening read, capable of encouraging those who are curious and not yet initiated in the subject to venture into the study of Sigmund Freud's work.
