User:Thatbaddie205/Freudian Sublimation Psychology Theory
Sublimation psychology is a defense mechanism that involves channeling unwanted unconscious urges into an admissible or productive outlet. This is often seen in an sexual or aggressive nature.
Psychoanalytical Theory
In Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, sublimation is one the key focal points. According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, the three components of personality that he entails are: the id, the ego, and the superego. The id is the first to develop and serves as the source of the libido (energy) that drives our behavior. The id is what temps us to act on urges and desires that are often socially unacceptable if we acted upon them whenever and however we pleased.[1] The ego emerges during the later part of childhood and is part of the personality that conforms the id while also conforming to reality. The ego forces us to deal with desires that drive us to act out of character and instead handle them in a more realistic way.[1] The last component, the superego is where he believes that the personality is where we house morals, rules, standards, and values that stem from what we inherit from our parents and culture. We behave in ways that we consider to be moral in this part of our personality. [1]
