Coming from an academic background, Hadfield was influenced in his psychological approach by both Carl Jung and William McDougall.[2] Causally, Hadfield favoured lack of parental protection rather than the repression of sexual love as the source of childhood disturbances.[3]
His writings were repeatedly criticised by Ernest Jones for their lack of Freudianism;[4] while his analytic technique has been seen as a reductive attempt to uncover childhood trauma, at the expense of the use of the analytic relationship, and the exploration of transference and countertransference.[5]
