Expanding on the Death Instinct: Sabina Spielrein and Destructive Reconstruction

Chapter 3 in Leadership is a Matter of Life and Death, 2006, pp 56-89 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In Chapter 2 we noted that both Freud and Klein viewed Thanatos as purely an instinct of destruction. Certainly, this can be the case when Eros is repressed to the extent that it cannot and never arises to match and therefore, balance Thanatic energy. Such is the case of repetitive compulsion to travel round and round the Thanatic triangle that is only part-compromise and temporary conflict resolution at best.
