I'd definitely run for the hills if somebody in current times told me he's practicing after Freud.It used to be a progressive way of thinking, but nowadays we know better. Not everything he said was plain wrong of course, I mean more as an overall guideline. People with bad experiences with one gender might not trust that gender anymore, that doesn't make them weird or whatever Freud would say. It's pretty understandable to avoid people that you feel might hurt you.
