The term “drive” has firmly entered the lexicon of not only the psychological space, but also our everyday life. We sometimes live on the “drive”, we want to spend the weekend on the “drive”. In the commonly used sense, “drive” is a powerful emotional upsurge and desire to act. In psychology, “drive” is an unconscious internal attraction generated by a certain need that requires emotional or physical release. The concept of “drive” is one of the few mental categories that is recognized as one of the most important behavioral motivators of a person. It is difficult to imagine an understanding of the “emotional development” of a person that would not be based on the “drive theory” of S. Freud. Due to the rapid development of the popular field of neuropsychology, there are many interesting and advanced “theories of emotional drives” that have greatly expanded and deepened the theory Based on Freud's “taxonomy”, this is the science of classifying complex hierarchical systems. The very principle of organizing objects from lower to higher is also called, Jaak Panksepp (Estonian-American neuroscientist and psychobiologist), introduced the term “affective neuroscience” as a name. for the field that studies the neural mechanisms of emotions. In her article “Emotional drives and their place in human development,” Professor Mark Solms very succinctly describes the essence of Panksepp’s “drive theory” (1998), which today is the most widely accepted in neuroscience - although still not universal. J. Panksepp divided drives into “bodily” and “emotional” types. He further divided bodily drives into “homeostatic” and “sensory” subtypes. For example, hunger, thirst and the need to defecate are “homeostatic” drives, while pain, surprise and disgust are “sensory”. Panksepp's distinction between bodily and emotional instincts roughly coincides with Freud's distinction between the instincts of "self-preservation" and "libidinal" instincts. Professor Mark Solms, analyzing his work, focused on emotional instincts, since it is from the need to master them that mental disorder arises. True, some mental disorders are also associated with physical problems (for example, with nutrition, sleep and pain). Professor Solms himself is a neuropsychoanalyst. Neuropsychoanalysis is a discipline that combines psychoanalysis and “modern brain science” and is not yet recognized as an official science, but its discoveries give us a lot to think about. Being an integrative, interdisciplinary direction, it is developing very actively. We, psychologists, always keep up with the times, our profession requires active learning and rethinking of new material, no matter in what direction we work. The world is changing so rapidly, “artificial intelligence” is enslaving us so quickly that we really need the knowledge about man that science, be it neurophysiology, neurobiology, due to the specifics of the work. For example, the great Carl Gustav Jung maintained an active correspondence with the father of “quantum physics” Wolfgang Pauli, and the very term “synchronicity”, of all “existent being and matter”, was first voiced precisely through the “mutual co-existence” of two brilliant people. In my opinion, all sciences serve humanity, and human mental nature, tries to understand and help in his suffering, namely psychology, which also serves man. Therefore, knowledge from all areas of science is sometimes very necessary for a psychologist.
