In this paper, we will put forward the view that psychoanalytic aggression theory should not be limited to relate only to aggressive and destructive behavior, and the corresponding mental contents, but should be restored to its original scope, so as to make it again a theory of the death drive. Thus, the death drive is an obstinate and constantly active striving toward experienced state of peace: an endeavor to eliminate that which is experienced as disturbing or which maintains disturbance
