Just to ensure we're talking about the same thing, I'm referring to 'Cognitive Science' not 'Cognitivist Science,' which sounds more like a branch of philosophy. I think that's the main disconnect in what we're talking about here: mainstream scientists in psychology left Freud behind quite a while ago. There are certainly other corners of academia who continue to use his ideas, but not scientists. Nowadays the two main branches covering similar theoretical subjects are various branches of Neuroscience and Cognitive Psychology (both of these are often grouped together under the heading 'Cognitive Science').
