=====Short Summary=====
Only the first half of the [[seminar]] is explicitly concerned with questions of [[psychosis]] and [[psychosis|psychotic phenomenon]].
===== Psychosis ===== ''[[Psychosis]]''' is one of three '''[[structure|clinical structures]]'''. It is distinguished from '''[[neurosis]]''' and '''[[perversion]]''' by the operation of ''[[foreclosure]]''.
'''[[Psychosis]] ''' is one of the three '''[[clinical structure]]s''', the one defined by '''[[foreclosure]]'''.
The other two are ‘’'''[[neurosis]]’’ ''' and ‘’''[[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]].
