Out of interest, can anyone think of any of Freud's ideas that were fairly accurate? So far there have been some mumblings of defence mechanisms gaining some support in a revised form, his linking of hysteria to traumatic childhood experiences (although he retracted that), and... anything else?

(I'm interested in ideas that were his, rather than well established ideas in his time - such as 'unconscious' processes controlling a lot of behavior etc).
