Quite obviously outdated or flat-out wrong in many areas, but an ingenious figure nonetheless. For example, it's pretty much to him that we owe the concept of the unconscious.

A pioneer in his field, but his work is heavily flawed because he tried too hard to tie everything to sex.

But how does that make him a “horrible person”?

I imagine if Freud were to analyze your inability to catch my meaning, he would say something like it was because you have a lack of imagination because you have insufficient sexual variety in your life.

(Note: I'm trying to insult Freud, not you.)

I appreciate Freud's emphasis on the need to resolve conflicts within oneself, and with the world, as a common human experience that may result in mental illness and interpersonal dysfunction if the conflicts have not been addressed in an healthy way. But his theories have often led within psychoanalysis to an overemphasis on particular unconscious drives and parental relationships when something else was going on.   Freud's concept of the 'pleasure principle' may have something to it, but it's ultimately destructive and reductionist when placed as foundational and antecedent to everything else in a person's development. Later psychoanalysts have to some extent addressed the problems with Freud's framework while building on its strengths.

So he's contributed a lot, some good, some bad. Shouldn't just be dismissed; those who are tempted to probably rely on his concepts sometimes without realizing it.

With the sole exception of evolutionary psychology, most of the fields and subfields within psychology and psychoanalysis are pseudosciences.

I think he wanted to bang his mom.  And invented a science to rationalize it.

Hard for me to think of a rationale for including all of psychology as pseudoscience except evolutionary psychology.
