[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]] (''Jenseits des Lustprinzips'') is an essay by [[Sigmund Freud]].
It marked a turning point and a major modification of his previous theoretical approach.
Before this essay, In ''[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle]] [[Freud was understood to have placed ]] revised his earlier [[theory]] of the sexual instinct, [[Eros (Freud)|Erosdrives]], or which asserted the primacy of the [[libidopleasure principle]], centre stagethat is to say, in explaining the forces which drive us to acttheory that our primary motivation as [[human]] beings is the fulfilment of [[pleasure]] or [[desire]].
In 1920, going "beyond" the simple [[pleasure principle (psychology)|pleasure principleClinical]] [[experience]], revealed to Freud developed his theory of that [[subjects]] compulsively repeated painful or [[drive (psychology)|drivetraumatic]]s, by adding experiences in direct [[Thanatos (Freud)|Thanatoscontradiction]], also known as to the primacy of the pleasure [[death instinctprinciple]].
The main importance Freud called this beyond of pleasure 'the essay resides in [[death]] [[drive]]' and suggested that the striking picture primary [[purpose]] of human being, struggling between two opposing instincts or drives: [[Eroslife]] working for creativity, harmony, sexual connection, reproduction, and self-preservation; Thanatos for destruction, repetition, aggression, compulsion, and self-destructionis to find the correct path to death.
In sections IV and V [[Lacan]] followed Freud posits in associating the [[death drive]] with [[repetition]], but he argued that the process which cause cell we are not driven towards death at a microscopic level might have developed in order to give human beings a but by death instinct as individuals. This theory has generally been discredited.
Freud also took the opportunity to state the basic differencesIt is [[loss]] that drives life through desire but, human beings will settle for any experience, as he saw themhowever painful, between his approach and that rather than fall out of the familiarity of the [[Carl Jungsymbolic]] into the [[trauma]], and covered the history so far [[void]] of research into the basic drives[[real]].
