About the psychology term the song by George Michael FatherFigure song unreferenced date November 2011 A fatherfigure is usually an older man, normally one with power, authority, or strength, with whom one can identify with on a deeply psychology psychological level and who generates emotions generally felt towards one s father. Despite the literal term father , a fatherfigure is not limited to the biological parent of a person, especially a child. Studies have shown that a lack of a fatherfigure in a child s life can have severe negative psychological impacts upon a child s personality and psychology. Many infamous serial killers such as Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy have backgrounds of extreme abuse, or simply no recognition, during their childhood from their fathers. Positive father figures have a significant role in a child s development. Under the circumstances of child abuse and neglect , it is not uncommon for a child to seek out a parental figure as a substitute proxy for the deficit of love and care at home. These proxies in children s cases are used to fulfill the need and want of a parent who can protect them from harm, which is usually driven by an Unconscious mind unconscious need for safety and a defective Oedipus Complex . Unfortunately, many sexual assault cases have been linked to this kind of behavior, which can lead to fatal obsession and possessiveness. Several studies have suggested that positive father figures, whether biological fathers or others, are generally associated with healthy child development.

Multiple issues orphan February 2009 disputed July 2010 one source March 2008 Father Arseny is the central figure of two books which purport to be about a spiritual father in Russia during the period of communist rule under Stalin . According to the books, Father Arseny was born Piotr Andreyevitch Streltzof in Moscow in 1894 and graduated from the Historical Philological Faculty from the Imperial University of Moscow, and first received the blessing to become a monk at the Optina Pustyn Monastery. He was ordained a Hieromonk priest in 1919. He was imprisoned by the Communists many times, his last period of incarceration being from 1941 to 1958. Father Arseny is believed to have performed many miracles during harsh times in the cold Siberian prisons, where there was little hope for those who were encamped.

He was serenely proof against all blandishments and threats.

He had great solemnity of visage and a long white beard, and when a pair of the young and stalwart brethren, an impromptu police, approached him to assist his orderly and peaceful departure, he lay down deliberately, and could be voided from the meeting only by being borne out at length.
