"This book is a historical and investigative trek into one of the most controversial theories of destructive human behaviour - that of Thanatos, the death instinct. Carr and Lapp explore the psychodynamics of Thanatos as well as its partner, Eros, the life instinct, in leader and follower interrelationships."--Jacket.
