==Sigmund Freud==
===Theory of Human Sexuality===[[Freud]]'s concept of the [[drive]] (''[[Trieb]]'') is central to his theory of [[human]] [[sexuality]]; it lies at the heart of his theory of [[sexuality]].
====Instinct and Drive====For [[Freud]], the distinctive feature of [[human]] [[sexuality]] -- as opposed to the sexual life of other animals -- is that it is not regulated by any [[instinct]] -- a concept which implies a relatively fixed and innate relationship to an [[object ]] -- but by the [[drive]]s -- which differ from [[instinct]]s in that they are extremely variable, and develop in ways which are contingent on the life history of the [[subject]].
==Jacques Lacan==
 
[[Lacan]] insists on maintaining the [[Freud]]ian distinction between ''[[Trieb]]'' ('[[drive]]') and ''[[Instinkt]]'' ('[[instinct]]'), and criticizes James Strachey for obliterating this distinction by translating both terms as "[[instinct]]" in the ''[[Standard Edition]]''.<ref>{{E}} p.301</ref>
