==Sigmund Freud====''Verleugnung''==[[Freud]] uses the term ''[[Disavowal|Verleugnung]]'' to denote "a specific mode of [[disavowaldefence]] which consists in the [[subject]]'s refusing to recognize the reality of a [[traumatic]]" ([[Frperception]]."<ref>Laplanche, Jean and Pontalis, Jean-Bertrand. ''The [[Language]] of [[Psycho]]-[[déniAnalysis]]''), trans. Donald Nicholson-Smith, [[London]]: Hogarth Press and the Institute of Psycho-Analysis, 1973 [1967]. p. 118</ref>
==Castration Complex==
He introduces the term in 1923 in connection with the [[castration complex]], the traumatic perception [[being]] the [[sight]] of the [[female]] [[biology|genitalia]]; when [[child]]ren first discover the [[absence]] of the [[penis]] in the [[girl]], they "disavow the fact and believe that they do see a penis all the [[time]]."<ref>{{F}}. "[[Works of Sigmund Freud|The Infantile Genital Organization]]", 1923e. [[SE]] XIX. pp. 143-4</ref>
---==Psychosis and Fetishism==[[Freud]] continues to employ the term throughout the rest of his [[work]], linking it specifically both to [[psychosis]] and to [[fetishism]].
=="Splitting of the Ego"==In these [[Freudtreatment|clinical conditions]], [[disavowal]] uses is always accompanied by the term ''Verleugnung'' to denote opposite attitude (acceptance of [[reality]]), since it is "rarely or perhaps never" possible for "a specific mode of defence which consists in the subjectego's refusing detachment from reality to recognize the reality of a traumatic perceptionbe carried through completely."<ref>Laplanche and Pontalia{{F}} ''[[Works of Sigmund Freud|An Outline of Psycho-Analysis]]'', 1940a. 1967[[SE]] XXIII. p.118201</ref>

==Jacques Lacan==
==Repression and Foreclosure==
While [[Freud]]'s use of the term is quite consistent, he does not distinguish the term rigorously from the other related operations.
[[Lacan]], however, works the term into a rigorous [[theory]], relating it and constrasting it specifically with the operations of [[repression]] and [[foreclosure]].
==Perversion==Whereas [[Freud]] had only linked [[disavowal]] to one [[form ]] of [[perversion]], [[Lacan]] makes it the fundamental operation in all forms of [[perversion]].
And whereas [[Freud]] had also linked [[disavowal]] with [[psychosis]], [[Lacan]] limits [[disavowal]] exclusively to the [[structure]] of [[perversion]].
Thus, in [[Lacan]]'s account, [[disavowal]] is one way of responding to the [[castration]] of the [[Other]], whereas the [[neurotic]] [[repress]]es the realization of [[castration]], the [[pervert]] disavows it.
--==Knowledge==Like [[Freud]], [[Lacan]] asserts that [[disavowal]] is always accompanied by a simultaneously [[knowledge|acknowledgement]] of what is disavowed. Thus the [[pervert]] is not simply [[knowledge|ignorant]] of [[castration]]; he simultaneously [[knowledge|knows]] it and denies it. Whereas the term [[disavowal]] originally denotes, in [[Freud]]'s work, only one side of this operation (the side of [[denial]]), for [[Lacan]] the term comes to denote both sides, the simultaneous [[denial]] and [[recognition]] of [[castration]].
Like [[Freud]], [[Lacan]] asserts that [[disavowal]] is always accompanied by a simultaneously acknowledgement of what is disavowed.==Lack and Desire==
Thus Whereas [[Freud]] relates [[disavowal]] to the perception of the [[pervertabsence]] is not simply ignorant of the [[penis]] in [[women]], [[castrationLacan]]; he simultaneously knows it and denis relates itto the realization of the [[absence]] of the [[phallus]] in the [[Other]].
Whereas the term The [[disavowaltrauma]] originally denotestic perception is, in [[FreudLacan]]'s workaccount, only one side of this operation (the side realization that the [[cause]] of denial), for [[Lacandesire]] the term comes to denote both sides, the simultaneous denial and recognition of is always a [[castrationlack]].
--It is this realization that [[disavowal]] concerns; [[disavowal]] is the failure to accept that [[lack]] causes [[desire]], the [[belief]] that [[desire]] is caused by a [[presence]] (e.g. the [[fetish]]).
