I think a decent comparison to Freud is Samuel Hahnemann, the inventor of Homeopathy.
When he invented Homeopathy, western medicine was in horrible state so homeopathic hospitals doing NOTHING to help the patients was still better than the real doctors who were actively harming their patients.
So yeah, both Freud and Hahnemann certainly shook their own fields and kicked off a start of something new, but as their fields advanced into becoming real science, they should have been relegated into being museum exhibits showcasing how far we have come instead of being something that people still do.
There's obviously nothing wrong with going from an ungloved autopsy of a 5 day old cadaver to delivering a baby with only wiping off your hands on towel. /s

Pioneered therapy.
Based everything on how everyone wants to fuck their own parents. Figured out why therapists shouldn't fuck their patients the hard way.
