Control freak
In psychology-related slang, control freak is a person who attempts to dictate how everything is done around them. The phrase was first used in the late 1960s〔http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/control〕 — an era when great stress was laid on the principle of 'doing one's own thing' and letting others do the same.〔Kristin Glaser, in ''The Radical Therapist'' (Penguin 1974) p. 246〕 In some instances, the term is earnest or self-mocking rather than derogatory, as when a self-styled "take charge" individual willingly proclaims the label.
==Vulnerability==
Control freaks are often perfectionists〔Michelle N. Lafrance, ''Women and Depression'' (2009) p. 89〕 defending themselves against their own inner vulnerabilities in the belief that if they are not in total control they risk exposing themselves once more to childhood angst.〔Art Horn, ''Face It'' (2004) p. 53〕 Such persons manipulate and pressure others to change so as to avoid having to change themselves,〔Robin Skynner/John Cleese, ''Families and how to survive them'' (London 1994) p. 208〕 and use power over others to escape an inner emptiness.〔Robert Bly and Marion Woodman, ''The Maiden King'' (Dorset 1999) p. 141〕 When a control freak's pattern is broken, “the Controller is left with a terrible feeling of powerlessness .〔Patricia Evans, ''Controlling People'' (Avon 2002) p. 129 and p. 274〕
Control freaks appear to have some similarities to codependents, in the sense that the latters' fear of abandonment leads to attempts to control those they are dependent on.〔David Stafford & Liz Hodgkinson, ''Codependency'' (London 1995) p. 131〕 Recovery for them entails recognising that being a control freak helped paradoxically preserve codependency itself.〔Deb M., in ''Stepping Stones to Recovery from Codependency'' (1993) p. 61〕
In terms of personality-type theory, control freaks are very much the Type A personality, driven by the need to dominate and control.
