[[Psychosis]] is one of the three clinical [[clinical structure]]s, the one defined by [[foreclosure]].

The other two are ‘’neurosis’’ ‘’[[neurosis]]’’ and ‘’perversion’’‘’[[perversion]]’’.

By way of [[foreclosure ]] of the [[signifier]] of the [[Name-of-the-Father]] it is possible to understand [[psychosis ]] and distinguish it from [[neurosis]].

[[Foreclosure ]] corresponds to [[Lacan]]'s translation of ‘’Verwerfung’’ ([[repudiaton]]).

The [[Name-of-the-Father ]] is not integrated in the [[symbolic]] [[order]] of the [[psychotic]], it is [[foreclosed]]: a [[hole ]] is left in the [[symbolic ]] [[chain]].

In [[psychosis ]] "the unconscious is present but not functioning."  The psychotic [[structure]] results from a malfunction of the [[Oedipus complex]], a lack in the [[paternal function]]: the paternal function is reduced to the [[image]] of the [[father]] (the [[symbolic]] reduced to the [[imaginary]]).
