First of all, in the beginning, the way that psychologists started their careers was by psychoanalyzing themselves. And Freud was rather screwy in the head to begin with.
Secondly, the oldest psychoanalytic theories are based ONLY on observations of male subjects. Primarily because those with the necessary education were male. Secondarliy because no one cared what was wrong with women because everything was attributed to them being women and left at that.
Thirdly, the drive by version of Freud's beliefs pretty much take everything back to either sex (usually) or death.
Lastly, I think it was Freud (or one of his contemporaries) that developed the idea of the subconscious and the three parts of the mind (id, ego, and super ego).
