| − | THE AIM OF THE DRIVE
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Lacan]] argues that the purpose of the [[drive]] (''[[Triebziel]]'') is not to reach a ''goal'' (a final destination) but to follow its ''aim'' (the way itself), which is to circle round the [[object]].<ref>{{S11}} p.168</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Thus the real purpose of the [[drive]] is not some mythical goal of full [[satisfaction]], but to return to its circular path, and the real source of [[enjoyment]] is the [[repetition|repetitive movement]] of this closed circuit.

| − | THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN AN INSTINCT AND A DRIVE
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is crucial to acknowledge the distinction between an [[instinct]] and a [[drive]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | An [[instinct]] designates a '''[[need]]''' that can be [[desire|satisfied]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The examples [[Freud]] usually gives are those of ''hunger'' and ''thirst''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | These [[need]]s give rise to an ''excitation'' within the body that can be [[desire|satisfied]] and neutralized.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ---
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[drive]], on the other hand, cannot be [[desire|satisfied]] and is characterized by the ''constancy'' of the pressure it exerts on [[consciousness]].

| − | The [[Standard Edition]] of the [[Sigmund Freud:Bibliography|works]] of [[Sigmund Freud|Freud]] fails to reister the important distinction he makes between '''''[[Instinkt]]''''' and '''''[[Trieb]]'''''.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | [[Freud]] normally uses the word '''''[[Instinkt]]''''' to refer to a relatively fixed set of behavioral patterns triggered by external stimuli; [[instinct]]s are characteristic of [[nature|animals]], and are [[biology|biologically]] defined.<ref>{{F}} (1915a) "Instincts and their Vicissitudes." [[SE]] XIV; ''Penguin Freud Library'' XI</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unlike an [[instinct]] a [[drive]] or '''''[[Trieb]]''''' (from the verb ''tereiben'', "to push") does not have a preordained goal and is characterized by the pressure it exerts within the [[psyche]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The aims or goals of [[drive]]s ar eextremely variable and are strongly influenced by the history of the individual.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A [[drive]] is characterized by its source ( a physical stimulus or erogenous zone), its aim (the elimination of the tension caused by stimulation) and its object (anything that enables it to fulfil its aim).
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Freud]]'s theory of [[drive]]s is dualistic, and a distinction is made beween ego-drives , whcih are directed towards self-preservation, and sexual drives.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In his later work, Freud introduces a further distinction between life-drives and the death drive.

| − | The model of the Freudian drive is libido - sexual energy - or what is also translated as 'wish' or 'desire'. According to Laplanche and Leclaire, it is the introduction of the drive into the sphere of need that marks the distinction between a need and desire: 'the drive introduces into the sphere of need an
