==Jacques Lacan==
===Symbolic Father===When the expression "[[Name-of-the-Father|the name of the father]]" first appeared in [[Jacques Lacan]] developed ’s [[work]], in the concept early 1950s, it is without [[capital]] letters and refers generally to the '''legislative''' and '''prohibitive''' function of the "'''[[Name-of-symbolic]] [[father]]'''" as the one who lays down the-Father[[taboo]] on [[incest]] (in the '''[[Oedipus complex]]'le nom du père'').
===Legislative and Prohibitive Function===
The rexpression is at once a semi-humorous [[religion|religious]] allusion and a play on the near-homonyms '''''non''''' and '''''nom''''': the '''[[name-of-the-father]]''' ('''''le nom du père''''') is also the [[father]]'s "'''no'''" ('''''le "non" du père''''') to the [[child]]'s [[incest]]uous '''[[desire]]''' for its '''[[mother]]'''. (the '''[[law|legislative and prohibitive function]]''' of the '''[[symbolic]] [[father]]''')
===Fundamental Signifier===
In [[Lacan]]'s 1955-6 [[seminar]], [[The Psychoses]], the expression becomes capitalized and hyphenated and takes on a more precise [[meaning]]; the [[Name-of-the-Father]] is described as the '''[[fundamental signifier]]''' which permits '''[[signification]]''' to proceed normally.
The [[Name-of-the-Father]] both confers [[identity]] on [[human]] [[subject]]s (by situating [[them]] in a lineage and the [[symbolic]] [[order]]), and [[signification|signifies]] the '''[[Oedipus complex|Oedipal]] [[law|prohibition]]''', the ''''no'''' of the [[incest]] [[taboo]].
===Foreclosure===
The [[foreclosure]] of this [[fundamental signifier]], or its [[expulsion]] from the [[subject]]'s [[symbolic|symbolic universe]], is said by [[Lacan]] to be the [[mechanism]] that triggers '''[[psychosis]]'''.
===Paternal Metaphor===[[Image:NOTF.gif|thumb|404px|right|The paternal metaphor]]In [[another]] work on [[psychosis]], [[Lacan]] represents the '''[[Oedipus complex makes ]]''' as a '''[[metaphor]]''' ('''[[paternal metaphor]]'''), in which one [[signifier]] (the father the agent [[Name-of -the prohibition that makes it -Father]]) [[metaphor|substitutes]] another (the impossible to access [[desire]] of the object-cause-of-desire[[mother]]).
