Freud would have earned the golden ring for his theory of

the unconscious alone.His synthesis of the disparate disciplines examining human behaviour into a systematic approach, his profound understanding and explication of how neurosis develop, his creation of a methadology to open the unconscious to examination(psychoanalysis)were only a few of his revolutionary accomplishments.Freud saw millions of people plunge headlong into fratricidal conflict during the first and second world wars and in the latter conflict glimpsed the horrors of the holocaust as his fianal days approached.Remember as a Jew in pre WWI Vienna he was never accorded the same professional rights or social recognition as his catholic physicians had.With the kind of insight he had the pain of that knowledge must have been overwhelming.It does not surprise me that in aprivate moment he referred to mankind as trash either as a defense or as a reflection of his disappointment.I can forgive him .
