The Death Drive is one of the most intriguing and controversial concepts in the history of psychoanalysis. It was first described by Freud in his paper “Beyond the Pleasure Principle” (Freud, S., 1920) as a new insight gained in the wake of WWI, identifying a duality of drives. Melanie Klein broadened this conceptualization into a comprehensive view which has extensive theoretical and clinical implications . According to Klein and her followers, the struggle between the life and death drives occurs from the day of an infant's birth and lasts for the rest of our lives. One of the main aims of analysis that I wish to address in this paper, is to reach “love [that] is buried under hate” and the life forces that are buried under the death drive's influence. I want to clarify the ways the death drive impacts transference and projective identification. I will look closely into the ways of understanding, interpreting and working it through towards mobility and transformation. I shall exemplify all of this in a clinical encounter that began with “an accident” with the death drive.
