==Jacques Lacan==The [[concept]] of [[causality]] forms an important thread that runs throughout [[Lacan]]'s entire úuvre[[work]]. It first appears in the context of the
==Psychosis==It first appears in the context of the question of the [[cause ]] of [[psychosis]], which is a central concern of [[Lacan]]'sdoctoral [[thesis]] <ref>{{L}} ''[[Works of Jacques Lacan|De la psychose paranoiaque dans ses rapports avec la personalité]]''. [[Paris]]: Seuil, 1975.</ref>.
