Is sexual tension a common cause of screaming rows between fathers and
daughters? Is door slamming thought to be a substitution for sexual
climax? Is this a contentious proposition or is it accepted as fact by
most psychologists? How should an 18yr old daughter deal with a father
who is behaving in this way? Any sources would be great.

I think that one interpretation of door slamming is that it is a
substitute for hitting someone.

I suggest for both of you, that you move out.

He might not be thinking what you are thinking, but if he does start
thinking that - and realizes what you are thinking
... it could be rather messy

I think you could be displaying an 'Iphegenia' complex, (just as
stupidly an inappropriate a name as an Oedipal complex) (my guess is
that Freud skimmed synopses).

Don't fight with him, negotiate absence - politely.

There are psychiatrists who tend to ascribe almost all conflict
between family members to repressed incestuous desires, but that kind
of theorizing is far from the norm. Anger and frustration can arise
from so many areas of human relationships that it is, in my opinion,
foolish to overgeneralize. As Tolstoy said, every unhappy family is
unhappy in its own way.

Slamming Doors - Sexual climax !!! ???  Slamming doors means you're
are really upset.  When YOU slam a door are you having a climax?  NO,
you're mad and that is one way of showing it.

Don't be silly with the sexual stuff - figure out a way that these two
people can get along better.

This request implies that the 18 year old is right.  This implies the
the 18 year is reasonable and the adult is unreasonable.  Slamming a
door does not support the idea that the adult is unreasonable - it
does support the idea that the daughter may be unbending and
frustrating the adult.

I suggest if the daughter finds it so hard to live under roof of her
father - then she packs her bags and move out. Then she will find out
what hard really is.

If she isn't there - there won't be any door slamming to upset you.

Thanks for the comments. It's the father who's slamming the doors.
