A lot of people disregard Freud because of the few things he got wrong. The reason for this I believe is they are uncomfortable with all the things he got right about humanity. It's hard to hear the truth sometimes but if you really do want to improve yourself then the truth must have it's day. Most people don't really want to improve themselves as history has shown. Freud was a truly brilliant man and gave humanity a great gift.

"I implore you, brothers, by God's loving clemency, to make your bodies a sacrificial offering, pristine enough for Him to receive - your rational duty to boot.
And do not permit idiosyncratic society to pressure you into its modus operandi: rather undergo a personal transformation by the recalibration of your super ego thereby demonstrating in no uncertain terms the benevolent, life-affirming and consummate will of our Maker" (Romans 12:1, 2, Sigmund Freud Bible Translation).

Sigmund Freud begins Civilization and Its Discontents, by describing his inability to understand what he calls “religious feeling.” Freud is not religious himself, though he has good friends who are. Freud believes that religion is central to how societies function – even societies that no longer consist of orthodox believers. Freud attempts, in his essay, to understand how people relate to their societies, how societies are formed, and how individual psychic forces interact with larger, group-level forces.

Freud was using Rorschacks Inkblot test created in 1921 - to label people Paranoid Schitzophrenic as Hitler did to 250, 000 Jewish people in 1939 the same year Freud died in Viena.

It’s bizarre, because on the one hand Freud seems extremely close to the analytical schools of yoga and Buddhism, e.g., jnana yoga: he rises above the ego, id and superego and describes the absurd warring forces as something no rational being would possibly want to identify with, but instead of advocating of the mind and body like yoga, he sees the identification with the tormented and tormenting mind as inevitable. I can understand that he isn’t attracted by the trance states of samadhi/nirvana, but he himself has achieved such great objectivity and distancing that he should at least consider analytical detachment/witnessing as a possibility of liberation.
I guess detachment wasn’t his forte because even after he caught throat cancer he had a hole cut in his throat so he could keep smoking cigars instead of kicking the habit
