Foreclosure (2 of 3) : There is a gap

We further develop the crucial distinction between neurosis-repression and psychosis-foreclosure, making reference to Stijn Vanheule's 'The Subject of Psychosis' and Russell Grigg's essay 'Foreclosure'. We consider the role of a type of primal affirmation of existence, before going on to ask: 'What is the human equivalent of tree roots?' Following the conceptualization of foreclosure, we appreciate how the unconscious in psychosis is experienced as something radically external to the subject. We also discuss a clinical example of opting out of money.

Not to spam all your videos but you are really helping me put 2 and 2 together with a lot of really tough Lacanian concepts! So cool that this is free. Thank you!

[@ReginaFlanji4386]

amazing job professor thanks for making such useful content for us

[@birdwatching_u_back]

I genuinely can’t thank you enough for these videos

[@LoveAutopsy]

I like that you provide many examples and background information when explaining complex concepts. One thing I often wish for is a concise and precise definition of a term or a concept in the beginning of a video. Sometimes I leave with in-depth, but somewhat vague understanding of what you are talking about. Love your channel though! I am sort of new to Lacan and your vids help make sense of his often obscure writing

[@derekhookonlacan]

Thanks very much will take that into account. For definitions you might also try the book by Dylan Evans entitled 'An introductory dictionary of pyschoanalysis'

Thanks for these videos, I've been watching lots of them in order, and getting so very much out of them! I have a question regarding the patient that doesn't believe in money. Could it be argued that the analysand actually had it right, at least in the Zizek-ian sense? Any pathology actually lies in society's belief in (the exchange use of) money. And more basically, is foreclosure only reserved for an individual not recognizing the symbolic order of the day, and not for a society that has imposed a false order all together?
