Sublimation - Sigmund Freud

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/sublimation-sigmund-freud/Show more

If sexual craving be repressed, why do some people become pathological, and others can instead successfully channel their desire into great works of art and literature? If everything is about sexual craving, then how do people get out of bed, and enjoy vigorous and intense hobbies and interests. For Freud this is explained as a transfer of energy from sex to ambition. He called this mechanism, Sublimation.
