 Sublimation - a fascinating concept
Sublimation is not something that the individual decides to do - in fact they are not usually aware that the situation exists, or even that it is possible.
On a slightly lesser scale where the sublimation is not so complete, a career in the church may still be sought, though perhaps in a capacity where some sexual activity is considered to be acceptable, as in the case of a vicar.
The fact that she was not indifferent to children indicated that the sublimation was not total - which was probably just as well, for she kept a huge menagerie of animals and had that sublimation been complete, she might well have become suicidal every time one died.

 Classics in the History of Psychology -- Rivers (1920) Chapter 19
In this process which is called sublimation, the energy arising out of conflict is diverted from some channel which leads in an asocial or antisocial direction, and turned into one leading to an end connected with the higher ideals of society.
Whatever be the source of the energy, however, we can be confident that by the process of sublimation the lines upon which it is expended take a special course, and in such case it is not easy to place any limit to its activity.
Such existence is not, however, the condition of exceptional accomplishment, for which there would seem to be necessary a certain degree of instability of the unconscious and subconscious strata of the mind which form the scene of the conflict between instinctive tendencies and the forces by which they are controlled.

 Sublimation of Mental States
Sublimation is the process of making emotional dynamics that are (usually) considered to be unpleasant into socially-acceptable attitudes and states of mind.
The difficulty with establishing the sublimation of an emotion is that it cannot be deduced by either wishful or logical thinking.
In general, sublimation is the process whereby a person re-directs his emotional drives from lower goals to higher ones ; his unrefined emotional motivations are transformed into attitudes and qualities of character that are either socially-acceptable or less egoistic.

 Epiphany: The Psychology of Joyce's "The Dead" -- Essay at LiteratureClassics.com
It is a sublimation of the neurotic kind, where he displaces connubial love with work and the approval of his aunts (an Oedipal feature seems to run throughout the piece, with his devotion to his aunts, fear of strong, emasculating women like Miss Ivors, and his unresolved issues with his domineering mother).
Sublimation is evident in story’s emphasis on the relationship of music and love: the relatives of Gabriel (his aunts and cousin), who are unsexual in being, teach music as an outlet of frustration, as well as having many paintings throughout the house, another form of sublimation.
Gabriel is unresponsive to artistic endeavors—he doesn’t understand his wife’s reaction to the song which reminds her of Michael, and he doesn’t understand the paintings of Romeo and Juliet's death (Joyce, 30).

 Psychology and Life-Writing
It isn't exactly psychology, at least as psychology is conventionally defined, because its unit of analysis is the single case, the single life -- even what statisticians call the "outlier" -- not pooled responses elicited from participants in carefully controlled experimental situations.
Psychology's increasing presence in biography has led many to wonder whether some sort of psychological orientation is necessary to the practice of life writing.
A more explicit and deliberate introduction of psychology into life writing would leave assumptions open to scrutiny, bring them into the light of day, allowing for a better opportunity to assess their efficacy or suitability.

 On Blaming
The usual approach is to postulate two psychologies, one intrapsychic, seen heuristically as a closed system; the other a compatible group or interactional psychology, made up of multiple closed systems which communicate, negotiate, battle, and cooperate across space.
Sublimation has been used as practically synonymous with the "neutralization" of sexual and aggressive drives and as somehow a different process.
Sublimation in this sense is not a "mystical" or "oceanic" experience, not a state of mental life with distinct boundaries, not one to be conjured up by specific exercises or "mantes." It may or may not seem to be limited by specific periods of time.

 Canadian Psychology: Inventing Personality: Gordon Allport and the Science of Selfhood
Of course, to me as a graduate student who was required to read his classic handbook chapter on the history of social psychology, he merely appeared as an eminence grise from the past, without body or soul.
It would not be unreasonable to suggest that Allport's devotion to personality as a research topic was, at that time, the sublimation of his tender personality in the face of the tough experimentalism trumpeted in the United States at that time by Floyd Allport and many others.
Voyages of academic and personal discovery to Germany, then the important but declining centre of psychology, were both inspiring and horrifying: Allport encountered closed ranks of stiff authoritarian men in heavy dark suits, conspicuously flicking their de rigriew cigars, yet was entranced by their advocacy of a much more holistic approach to psychology.

Sublimation: Although many people criticize Freud and discount his ideas, he developed many landmark theories and concepts that persist today (I'm not a Freud groupie, just point this out).
One of these concepts is a defense mechanism known as sublimation.
According to Freud, sublimation is a way in which people can deal with socially unacceptable impulses, feelings, and ideas in social acceptable ways.

 A glossary of Freudian terms.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Unlike Jung, who coined the term "collective unconscious" (now often referred to as the "objective psyche"), Freud gave these inherited remnants little more than a mention; for him, the wishes, feelings, and aggressions derived from the present life held much more importance.
However, he does discuss them as a link between group and individual psychology, a repository of the ancestral memory of the murdered primal father (see Primal Horde), and the reason why Oedipal and castration fears are often excessive in comparison to actual family-of-origin dynamics.
Although psychoanalysis began as a treatment method, Freud's real interest was caught by those theorizings that applied it to human psychology in general.

Subordinating the pleasure principle to the reality principle is done through a psychological process Freud calls SUBLIMATION, where you take desires that can't be fulfilled, or shouldn't be fulfilled, and turn their energy into something useful and productive.
So we have to sublimate most of our desires for sexual pleasure, and turn that sexual energy into something else--into writing a paper, for example, or into playing sports.
Freud says that, without the sublimation of our sexual desires into more productive realms, there would be no civilization.

 Classics in the History of Psychology -- Freud (1910) Lecture 5
We know a far more purposive process of development, the so-called sublimation (Sublimirung), by which the energy of infantile wish-excitations is not secluded, but remains capable of application, while for the particular excitations, instead of becoming useless, a higher, eventually no longer sexual, goal is set up.
The components of the sexual instinct are especially distinguished by such a capacity for the sublimation and exchange of their sexual goal for one more remote and socially more valuable.
A repression taking place at an early period excludes the sublimation of the repressed impulse; after the removal of the repression the way to sublimation is again free.

 Norman Brown ~ Life Against Death by Alan Gullette
  In fact, the sublimated life lived in the fantasy-project of culture is just a life of symbolic satisfaction – "the shadow of a dream" (168-9).
A long and tedious section of Brown's book is devoted to "Studies in Anality" (179-304), linking the sublime to the base, money to feces, the Protestant Lutheran Devil to the body and death, and generally strengthens the claim that sublimation involves negation of the body.
Brown's "solution" to man's problem is "the resurrection of the body" (Chapter XXVI) as the seat of the natural body-ego (for Freud, "the mental projection of the surface o the body" (159) – symbolic-sensual activity that does not separate itself as a self from the body).

When Pavlov, Watson, and Skinner were in the prime of their careers, they led a revolution that changed psychology from philosophy and speculation to a science.
Today we have earned enough knowledge from psychophysiology, cognitive psychology, behaviorism, psychoanalysis, analytic psychology, clinical psychology, humanism, and other theoretical perspectives to construct a profound synthesis that transcends mere academic exercise and provides useful information to help soothe the pain of living.
