I know there are pockets of
Freudology out there (old school psychiatry, perhaps some unreconstructed
English or History or Anthropology Departments, some professional
therapeutic communities) but I have not seen much of this within academic
psychology per se. I have been trained as a clinician, and teach
Personality, Principles of Counseling and History & Systems (among other
courses). In my experience Freud has never been much more than a marginal
figure within American academic psychology - and barely more than that
within most currents of American clinical psychology.
You are writing from California and are probably much younger than I am.  I went to school in NYC, which was heavily psychodynamic if not entirely Freudian.  Things have changed, but when I went to graduate school, most psychotherapists and all clinical psych doctoral programs in the New York area were Freudian, neo-Freudian or psychodynamic.  I received my PhD in Washingon, DC in developmental and had extensive post-doc training in clinical, so was able to get extensive training in cognitive behavior therapy, but even as recently as 15 years ago, only one school in the NY area had a graduate program that was cognitive and/or behavioral in its core orientation. So Freud was far from a marginal figure.
