Todestrieb

Etymology Tod +‎ Trieb
In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the death drive (German: Todestrieb) is the drive toward death and self-destruction. It was originally proposed by Sabina Spielrein in her paper "Destruction as the Cause of Coming Into Being"[1][2] (Die Destruktion als Ursache des Werdens)[3] in 1912, which was then taken up by Sigmund Freud in 1920
