    • Psychoanalytic literature on aggression is polarized between Freud's drive theory and its rejection.
    • This polarization hinders a comprehensive understanding of aggression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a novel approach to aggression that integrates drive and non-drive theoretical traditions.
    • To identify and highlight an unrecognized synthesis of thought on aggression in contemporary psychoanalysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of psychoanalytic literature.
    • Comparative review of Freudian and non-Freudian theories of aggression.

    Main Results:

    • A unifying approach to aggression is proposed, preserving key elements of both drive and non-drive theories.

  • This integrated perspective is suggested to be implicitly present in current Freudian and non-Freudian psychoanalytic discourse.

    • Conclusions:

    • The proposed approach offers a way to overcome the polarization in aggression theory.
    • Recognizing this prevalent, integrated thinking can advance psychoanalytic understanding of aggression.
