Read further, and you'll discover that much of what Freud wrote about has been discounted for the past 20 years.
In fact, he had a protege by the name of Carl Jung who disagreed with much of what his mentor taught him.

Actually, Freudian analysis is alive and well. Much of his work is now disputed, but it has hardly been "discounted" as a whole. Specifically, I believe the Oedipal Complex has held up pretty well through the years. All you have to do to see proof is spend time around very young male children. The mother is the ideal. She takes care of him, feeds him, loves him, clothes him. The main rival for that affection is the father.
Carl Jung also believed he had visions in his dreams and was connected to a world consciousness that included, I believe, dead people.
