As I understand, he didn't merely inspire but architected modern psychoanalytic approaches. But even those aside, specific teachings of his or evolutions of his teachings are still thaught. Oedipus complex is the one I dislike the most, claiming boys want to murder their father and sleep with their mother at a subconscious level. IMO, many cultures long before freud used religion and other means as part of mental health treatments.as I alluded earlier, I take objection to the approach he championed where psychoanalysis is done by people who don't consider belief and world view compatibility and goals that are wildly different from their own. How can you fix a problem for someone if you don't even know what the root cause for that person is and what they want the solution to be? This is a highly subjectivr field where reductivist (why they call them shrinks) approaches only work as a matter of statistical success, not correctness of the approach. Again, just my opinion and observation. In my experience, just understanding the mental world someone lives in is a huge undertaking. Two people can look at the same thing and have thing mean wildly different things.
