==Jacques Lacan==
From his [[doctoral dissertation]] in 1932 on,<ref>{{1932}}</ref> one of the central quests which animates [[Lacan]]'s [[work]] is that of [[identifying]] a specific [[psychical]] cause for [[psychosis]]. In the course of addressing this problem, two themes are constant.
==The Exclusion of the Father==
As early as 1938 [[Lacan]] relates the origin of [[psychosis]] to an [[exclusion]] of the [[father]] from the [[family]] [[structure]], with the consequent reduction of the latter to [[mother]]-[[child]] [[dual|relation]]s.<ref>{{1938}} p. 49</ref> Later on in his [[Works of Jacques Lacan|work]], when [[Lacan]] distinguishes between the [[real]], [[imaginary]] and [[symbolic]] [[father]], he specifies that it is the [[absence]] of the [[symbolic]] [[father]] which is linked to [[psychosis]].
===Repression, Negation, Projection===
[[Foreclosure]] is to be distinguished from [[other]] operations such as [[repression]], [[negation]], and [[projection]]. [[Foreclosure]] differs from [[repression]] in that the [[foreclosed]] [[signifier|element]] is not buried in the [[unconscious]] but expelled from the [[unconscious]]. [[Repression]] is the operation which constitutes [[neurosis]], whereas [[foreclosure]] is the operation which constitutes [[psychosis]].
