Freuds theories are out the door for the most part today in psychology. His thought process was more powerful than his theories. Before Freud they did not treat the patient they institutionalized them. He was the first to show that even though they where "crazy "you could work with them to help them. Kinda how I feel on this board talking with the libs :p Actually I provides great insight into why the right and left see the same things differently as well.
