Sublimation (psychology)

In psychology, sublimation is a coping mechanim.

Sublimation is the refocusing of psychic energy (which Sigmond Freud believed was limited) away from negative outlets to more positive outlets. For example - a student who has a major upcoming test, rather than spending time and energy worrying about it, would rechannel that time and energy into studying.
