Not sure why you're being downvoted. The consensus among most scholars is that most of Freuds ideas are BS. He's liked because he was closer to the truth than many of the other frauds in his day and he used techniques and methodology which was innovative for his time. But the whole left-wing infatuation with him (e.g. see the work of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Lacan, Sartre) needs to end. Somehow, many of our intellectuals still believe that most of the core concepts of Psychoanalysis are legitimate (e.g. ego-id-superego or Oedipus complex) and they're just actually not. They don't exist!
