The Revision of Freud’s Theory of the Drives
Presented by Dr. Mark Solms
3 CME/CE Credits
*Students, Faculty and Treatment Center Staff will receive discount information via email.
Contemporary psychoanalysts have lost confidence in Freudian drive theory but have not replaced it with an alternative drive theory. This is problematic for many reasons, not least of them being the fact that ‘drive’ was Freud’s connecting link between the body and the mind. Psychoanalysis without drive theory is a disembodied discipline. Most psychoanalysts either have abandoned the use of drive theory or they are still using Freudian drive theory in their clinical work, because they are unfamiliar with subsequent developments in the field of neurobiology. This presents a gap in the learners ability to effectively use drive theory in their practice.
Learning objectives:
1.Evaluate the fundamental role that homeostasis plays in biology and psychology.
2.Consider the seven major emotional drives of the human being.
After attending this presentation, participants will increase their knowledge of new interpretations of Freudian drive theory, increase their understanding of the 7 major emotional drives of the human being. They will develop new strategies to use this information in the treatment of their patients.
