Hi all
i'm translating a subtitle of a movie and one character(Psychiatrist) saying to the other
"He has complicated response to authority.
He wants to please the overbearing father figure
what represents a lack of reciprocated fiction. "
Any clue
Many thanks in advance

Thank you awad, nothing really has, just that our colleague above provided father figure in his answer and I felt the term مستبد is where the problem lies as it translates more as stern or ruthless rather than overbearing IMO
