What Freud with few of his contemporaries got right is that most of our thinking is unconscious. If he'd stopped there and investigated, we would have a different picture of him today. But no, he developed theories on top of that theory, then shifted his stories to fit his wild speculation. Even as a historical source he's hard to take seriously.
The only recourse to avoid calling him a fraud is to call him a fanatic.
