Abstract
This article examines the impact of an authoritarian inner figure on the female psyche, framed within the historical and cultural context of Ukraine. This clinical case study of a young patient, referred to as “M.,” reveals how rigid self-defenses and a lack of genuine pleasure in life can stem from the absence of a father figure and an internalized authoritarian structure, which is associated with the Father archetype. Through the therapeutic processes of dream analysis and intervention, M. confronted her deep-seated fears of revolution, familial conflicts, and internal authoritarianism. This study illuminates the oppressive effects of authoritarian dynamics on personal development and underscores the necessity of fostering inner democracy—an internal sense of fairness and autonomy—for psychological growth and fulfillment.
