‘Psychoanalytic drive theory was first challenged by Fairbairn and Bowlby and subsequently by various object relations theorists. More recent developments in affective neuroscience have led to a reconciliation of all three perspectives. This presentation will outline contemporary neurobiological views of the basic emotional drives that are at work in the human being, with a special focus on the attachment drives (of which there are more than one)’.
