How much credit to you give to Freud and psychoanalytic theories in general?

Some believe that Freud’s ideas are timeless and brilliant, even if some of his ideas were proven to be flawed. Others, however, think that psychoanalytic approaches to therapy are nonsensical. They have little empirical support, and Freud was not brilliant, impartial, nor successful. He often bullied patients into accepting his explanations and ignored all contrary evidence. Psychoanalytic theories are scientifically faulty (violates principle of falsifiability, draws universal principles from experiences of a few atypical patients, bases theories of personality on fallible patient memories). Many psychologists feel psychoanalytic ideas are literary metaphors rather than scientific explanations. What do you think?
