Anti-authoritarian family critique was accused of siding with bureaucratic power against family intimacy.

Evidence

Even Schelsky, who with a realistic sociological [realsoziologisch] eye' had welcomed a withdrawal from the public and political sphere into one's own family and career as a highly satisfactory tracing back of what is abstract and programmatic in social thought to the experience and objectivity of each personal existence’, had managed, at least in one passage, to accuse the Frankfurt theoreticians of having virtually totalitarian tendencies. This dogmatically anti-authoritarian family ideology,' he wrote in his Current Changes in the German Family, published in 1953, thus consciously or unconsciously takes the part of bureaucratic power against the intimacy of the family and the natural authority of the person within it.’ — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 596
