The four-site DCA method of including intersite correlations in the dynamical mean-field theory is used to investigate the metal-insulator transition in the Hubbard model. At half-filling a gap-opening transition is found to occur as the interaction strength is increased beyond a critical value. The gapped behavior found in the 4-site DCA approximation is shown to be associated with the onset of strong antiferromagnetic and singlet correlations and the transition is found to be potential energy driven. It is thus more accurately described as a Slater phenomenon ( induced by strong short-range order) than as a Mott phenomenon. Doping the gapped phase leads to a non-Fermi-liquid state with a Fermi surface only in the nodal regions and a pseudogap in the antinodal regions at lower dopings x less than or similar to 0.15 and to a Fermi-liquid phase at higher dopings.
