another one where breastfeeding becomes the paradigm of every love bond (Klein 1963). Finding the object is in fact a re-encounter. The oral drive component finds satisfaction becoming attached to the wish to be fed, its object being the maternal breast; only later the oral drive component detaches from this wish and finds the object in its own body through autoerotism (Freud 1922). To Freud’s primary impulse to seek death, she adds that there would also be a primary impulse to fear and avoid that death. According to Fuentes’ reading of Klein, the aggressive drive is constitutionally determined; then the primitive cruel Superego would be the retaliation from the parental internalized object to the aggression coming from the baby. The Ego depends on environmental factors, especially the attitude of the mother towards the baby. The relation with the good object is at the core of the Ego, from which it expands and develops. If this Ego construction is achieved, it is more likely to be able to contain anxiety and preserve life, by binding little portions of the destructive object relations with the libidinal bonds. Fuentes theorizes from extended Kleinian perspective , that feeling love and hate towards the object or towards oneself, derived from life and death drives, would have previously suffered a transformation because they would be under the control of the Ego. Klein’s theory would then be bimodal, a simultaneously drive and object relations theory . Anxiety, caused by the struggle between both drives, would take form of the battle over the annihilation of life – a probem for the Ego to deal with. Fuentes postulates that if a death drive exists, we can also assume that in the deeper layers of the mind, there is a response to that drive. Therefore, the baby is born with a fear of annihilation that emerges from the threat of the Death Drive. The Ego would start its activity immediately after birth, with the aim of countering this danger, resorting to the Life Drives. As this instinctive struggle persists throughout life, the source of anxiety is never eliminated and constantly participates in all further situations of anxiety (Klein 1948). The anxiety of being destroyed by her own destructive impulses, bound to primary envy, an expression of the death drive, makes the baby resort to the mechanisms of splitting and projective identification of such destructive feelings as well as the love towards the object, thus generating a state of confusion. This is in line with Klein’s suggestion that there are also primitive processes of splitting, which are a ‘dark’ mode, in the form they manifest themselves and they operate. If the feeling of love (manifestation of the life drive) can be increased, the destructive feeling (manifestation of the death drive) can be countered, to which the interaction with the good object would contribute and this would lead to reparatory feelings together with the guilt and the pain for having damaged the good and caring object. Fuentes interprets that for Klein, the feeling that we call love becomes deeper by the awareness of the pain, guilt and anxiety that the individual feels when she hurts or harms her good objects.
