This chapter introduces drives, which are seen as very individualized, displaceable, and malleable unconscious motivational systems. It is believed that self psychology may actually be considered as a form of object relations theory that rebuffs Sigmund Freud's theory of the drives. This chapter tries to unify a modern theory of drives with the developmental object relations theory model.
Keywords: drive, motivational systems, self psychology, object relations theory, Sigmund Freud, theory of the drives, object relations theory model
