Freud's theories would be considered quackery today, is what I mean. You learn about him in psychology because he's the father of psychology and was really super important historically, and he was probably on the right path about some things. But he was definitely dead wrong about other things, like his ideas about women for example.
Its also not really a fair comparison since Campbell hardly invented comparative religious studies, his theories are interesting if not totally original and he got a lot of people into mythology, I watched The Power Of Myth years and years ago and loved it, but yeah, outdated and pretty wrong about a lot of things.
