A Son Seeking Father's Approval: "Disney Dads"
By Dr. Bonnie Weil. Posted on .

Or the son may try to prove to his father that he is already capable of being the 'man of the house.'" The father who is playing "Disney Dad" will seek out the same amount of approval from his son as the son did when he was going through the Oedipus Complex.
