"[[Madness]]" ([[Fr]]. ''[[folie]]'')
When [[Lacan]] uses the term "[[madness]]," or refers to someone as being "[[mad]]," he is referring to [[psychosis]]:
<blockquote>"The psychoses... correspond to what has always been callled and legitimately continues to be called ''madness''.<ref>{{S3}} p.4</ref></blockquote>
[[Lacan]] adds that "there is no reason to deny oneself the luxury of the word."<ref>{{S3}} p.4</ref>
