And you can say B J Fogg is a more modern charlatan. And Robert Cialdini. But all of them put together very interesting theories!

Skinner, to his credit, tried to operate scientifically, by formulating empirically falsifiable hypotheses and testing them. Freud, by contrast, crafted reams of "theory" that his followers were expected to unquestioningly accept as gospel.
