In psychology, father complex, also called daddy issues,[1] is a group of unconscious associations or impulses related to a fatherly figure. These impulses may be either positive (wanting older men) or negative (fearful).
Freud vs. Jung
Sigmund Freud (and psychoanalysts after him) saw the father complex as an aspect of the Oedipus complex.[2] In contrast, Carl Jung believed that both men and women had a father complex.[3]
Examples
The concept of father complex is a common theme in popular culture. For instance, Czesław Miłosz wrote of Albert Einstein,[4]
everything about him appealed to my father complex, my yearning for a protector and leader.
Bob Dylan's choice of his acting name has been linked to the father complex, as a rejection of his actual father and his paternal name.[5][6] before leaving each one behind again in turn.[7] Meanwhile, English novelist D. H. Lawrence dismissed the idea of the father complex as having been applied to himself,[8] calling it a fool's complex.[8]
