Thank you!

There is a thing to say about the beauty of maths as a universal language. In that spirit, I see Freud closer to philosophy, in the sense that philosophy is highly divided and regional.

Was freud really that influential? The "freudian slip" is certainly a very useful tool for analysis. But his "psycho analysis" is outdated, or at least overcome. And sexual freedom is progressing far slower.

Sexuality is a baseline of human development. You made a very good point.

His psychoanalysis maybe outdated but even now you can find orthodox psychoanalists (not just modernized version). Also there are a lot of schools that derived from orthodox psychoanalysis and moved away for some distance small or large. I believe that any psychoterapist know at least basics of psychoanalysis, can explain about id/ego/super-ego, psychological defence mechanisms, psychological resistance, transference and countertransference. There are bunch of theories of human development derived from Freud's theory psychosexual development. Even if psychoanalysis is dead (which is not true) it exists in derived works.
