Fun Freud Fact: He didn't actually start from the ideas of Oedipal Complexes and Penis Envy.
That came about because many of his clients were the children of the wealthy, and quite a few of them were reporting sexual abuse, but he couldn't tell all the rich pricks to stop raping their children in the middle of trying to found psychology as a field of study.
This is based on a very sketchy theory itself.
Sure it is, that's why no professional who has read his notes disagrees with the overall analysis that he covered up the extent of sexual abuse in his patients to save his career.
Psych studies are a cardhouse from top to bottom.
