Abstract

SOUZA, Octavio. Who believes in death drive?. Cad. psicanal. [online]. 2021, vol.43, n.44, pp. 61-77. ISSN 1413-6295.

With the notion of death drive, an audacious speculation he believed in, Freud broadened the field of clinic by bringing symbolization processes to the focus of psychoanalytic investigation. Later on, in the works of Klein, Lacan, Bion and Winnicott, the belief and disbelief in the death drive came to be conjugated in terms of object relations, the paradoxes of jouissance and environmental provision. In contemporary psychoanalysis, the debate around the belief in the notion extends to an ecumenical environment that aims more at comparing points of view than at a polemical debate.

Keywords : Death drive; Belief; Symbolization processes; Logic of the signifier; Jouissance; Environmental provision; Use of an object.
