His psychoanalysis maybe outdated but even now you can find orthodox psychoanalists (not just modernized version).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.
