As Kent mentions, the legacy of Freudian thinking is regrettable.  The problem of that legacy has little to do with how Freud conceptualized the mind, but that those who proffered the Freudian explanation had convinced themselves and so many others that they had a method which could fully explain all behavior.  They considered their approach to the mind infallible, which meant that they could reveal all of its aspects in time. 

Most people these days scoff at the ideas of Freud. Yet, many folks accept the serious contention that neuroscience has the ability to fully explain how the brain becomes the mind by way of brain maps.  The real stain of Freud's legacy is nothing unique to his theory but the fact that it made people comfortable with the notion that science has the ability to reduce the human experience to mere descriptions of elemental processes.
