John Bowlby on Drives - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 229 Drives/Bowlby/BowlbyVsFreud/ Shaver/Mikulincer: [The] new conception of motivation (>Motivation/Bowlby) rendered the Freudian notion of general drives (e.g., libido) unnecessary. Goal directed and goal corrected behaviours are activated not by an accumulation of psychic energy or a desire to reduce drive intensity, but by conditions within a person or the person’s environment that activated behaviour intended to achieve a certain goal state or to avoid threats and dangers. >Attachment theory, >Behavior.
