Well, since you brought it up...Almost all of Freud's ideas have essentially been debunked and discarded, the Oedipus complex theory among them. The Oedipus complex is explained by saying it's a load of bull that Freud made up as a way of explaining why he was hearing so much talk of sexual abuse.
[Edit: That's not to say that you're not right about the rest of your post; it's just that the Oedipus complex part is bad information.]
