Aggression and Destructiveness: Psychoanalytic Perspectives is a book that explores the complex and often contradictory nature of human aggression and destructiveness. Edited by renowned psychoanalyst Robert J. Stolorow and his colleagues, this book brings together a diverse group of psychoanalytic thinkers to examine the topic from a variety of perspectives.

The book begins with a chapter by Stolorow that provides an overview of the psychoanalytic understanding of aggression. Stolorow argues that aggression is a fundamental human drive that is essential for survival and adaptation. However, he also notes that aggression can be destructive when it is not properly regulated. The contributing authors in this volume contribute to a coherent understanding of these complex phenomena, considering the full range of factors that contribute to aggression and destructiveness.

The subsequent chapters explore a variety of topics related to aggression and destructiveness, including the role of early childhood experiences, the influence of culture and society, and the psychodynamics of violence.

Aggression and Destructiveness: Psychoanalytic Perspectives is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay of aggression and destructiveness in human behavior.
