      He had some interesting ideas and he is the ‘grandfather’ of psychology. A lot of his ideas are very outdated, and are not supported by evidence. There have been so many more influential psychologists since then, but no one has ever heard of them. The public often think that psychology is all about Freud’s ideas, but very little is based on his ideas now.
