John Bowlby on Energy - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 229
Energy/BowlbyVsFreud/Bowlby/Shaver/Mikulincer: Bowlby (1982/1969) rejected Freudian and object relations versions of psychoanalytic theory that conceptualize human motivation in terms of ‘drives’ and view the mind as powered by ‘psychic energy’. Instead, he created a >‘behavioural systems
’ model of motivation, borrowed from ethology and cybernetic control theory, according to which human behaviour is organized and guided by species-universal, innate neural programmes (behavioural systems). >Motivation/Bowlby.
