Foreclusion refers to a defense mechanism recognized by French psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan as being central to the development of psychosis. He borrowed that term from the legal term foreclosure. It is also believed by some historians that he borrowed the term from prior writings by earlier psychoanalysts. It has been reported that Lacan first used the term in 1959.
