authoritarian

Explanation:

Authoritarian parents think that because they are adults and parents, they must decide about their children's lives without regard for what they think and what they want. They fail to realize that what they always think is best for their child is not always. These parents often have pre-established ideas about various situations and do not make room for the child to question, talk about their feelings and dissatisfaction. In other words, authoritarian parents use severe discipline in their children and demand unquestioning obedience.  For this reason, we may conclude that psychologists are likely to characterize doctors as authoritarian parents.
