• It was originally proposed by Sabina Spielrein, which was then taken up by Sigmund Freud in 1920 in Beyond the Pleasure Principle.

• The death drive is sometimes referred to as "Thanatos” in post-Freudian thought, complementing "Eros", although this term was not used in Freud's own work, being rather introduced by one of Freud's followers, Welhem Stekel.
• the death drive is the drive towards death and self-destruction.
