Freud doesn't have much to do with modern academic psychology.

Even psychotherapy and his own field of psychoanalysis embrace ideas and perspectives that Freud rejected or would have rejected (though the analysts don't like to admit it).

Psychological theories are like Rorschach inkblot tests. Just as we see what we want to in the inkblot, psychologists see what they want to in us. Psychological theories tell us more about the people who came up with those theories than they tell us about ourselves.

Freud theorized about serious sexual hangups because he was a sick freak! Alfred Adler came up with the inferiority complex because he was crippled. B. F. Skinner wanted to prove that we are all just robots with no free will because he was an atheist and a materialist.
