This lecture will explore the concept of the “death drive” in light of the current pandemic. From our consulting rooms, psychoanalysts are experiencing the diverse effects of the compression of our patient’s (and our own) lives into increasingly tight physical psychic spaces. Under these conditions, it can be very difficult to discern if the “life drive” or the “death drive” is at work.
