> I get your irritation about Freud.

I think it is still useful to read Freud, assuming you don't take it as gospel and consider when he wrote it and how little was known at the time. In my opinion, Freud was a brilliant man. The fact that some of his ideas are so obviously false today might serve as immunization against hubris, with which some of us do not realize that many of our ideas will seem absurd in a hundred years.

I think it is useful to read Freud primarily so that you can appreciate his influence on the history of ideas. The ideas themselves are not really of any contemporary interest, imo.
