in Psychiatry theres something called Ego defense mechanism which are psychological strategies brought into play by various entities to cope with reality and to maintain self-image. Healthy persons normally use different defenses throughout life.Defense Mechanisms is to protect the mind/self/ego from anxiety, social sanctions or to provide a refuge from a situation with which one cannot currently cope.Sublimation is one such kind[class 4 type] where there is Transformation of negative emotions or instincts into positive actions, behavior, or emotion...like a person loving nude/porn expresses it as a photographer or a painter[one famous painter here in India frequently does that]!!...
actually i loved this concept and have been really fascinated to do more research on it!!
