The problem with what he did get right is that he based it all on incorrect data like his theory of the Oedipus complex, and therefore the real root causes of any problem need to be determined.

Yeah. Freud demonstrated that it's a bad idea to look inside your head and extrapolate what you find there to all humanity.
There's a freudian gender-mirror to the Oedipus Complex, called the Electra Complex. Same story, basicaly, but with daughters and fathers.
