Foreclusion, also known as Foreclosure, is a loose English translation of a term French psychoanalyst Jacques Marie Émile Lacan introduced to the field of psychoanalysis during the 1950s. The concept represents a defence mechanism which is considered a fundamental reason for the development of psychosis in humans. It helped to define the interrelationship of Lacanian and Freudian psychoanalysis.
