This work of late Dr. William L. Johnson introduces the reader to the Triadic Drive Theory (TDT), which explains how the forces of the universe create our mentality. It begins from a different reality about the nature of human beings than has been commonly held by psychology and psychoanalysis. TDT¿s initial proposition is that the constant forces of physics throughout the universe and in the operations of subatomic particles in the atoms of our brain cells produce the energy of our two most basic life-determining psychic drives.Construdo is the drive that causes us to combine and connect thoughts, ideas, emotions, concepts, attitudes, and beliefs, as well as to connect with other cultures, societies, families, and people. The second drive, destrudo, determines why, when, and how such unions are broken apart, damaged, or overthrown. These two drives and their derivatives apparently, it is proposed determine more human behaviors than Freud¿s libido drive and its derivatives. Triadic Drive Theory asserts that the forces of physics that govern and hold the universe together constitute the true universal reality for humans as well as for all other species. Thus we can propose an axiom: we are all governed by the same principles of physics that govern the rest of the universe. How these forces of physics produce our cognitive or mental drives is the focus here of theoretical, psychoanalytic, and behavioral observations that have led to the formulation of Triadic Drive Theory. In this book, Dr. Johnson offers application of TDT to clinical practice, including Freud's "dream work," psychopathology diagnosis, object relations, work with couples, adding the dimensions of time and space.
