Freud is not really revered by most psychology professors, at least from the textbooks and professors I had had. They all characterized him as somehow who was one of the first to start looking at psychology in a new way, but one who whose theories had little relevance to the modern world, little basis in fact, and serious problems with its view toward humans.

He, like a LOT of famous psychiatrists, certainly also including Hans Asperger, should be treated like dr. Mengele and excised from the profession, all their theories replaced in psychological texts, to be replaced with a warning. Like in medical texts that there were famous and incredibly horrible crimes committed by famous psychiatrists. The only use Freud and Asperger should have for the profession is to illustrate the need for an ethical code of conduct and severe penalties for even mild violations of it. Because you just cannot imagine how horrible the lives of quite a few people got with "help" from these people.
