Have you ever read his writings? It's a bunch of perversion and very degrading towards young women.

Psychiatrists are now mostly looked down upon by their peers in the medical establishment.  Maybe it's because so many of their patients who were prescribed anti-depressants and sleeping pills have killed themselves and others.

One should be very cautious re. Rama Coomaraswamy's writing. His father (Ananda by first name if I remember correctly) was a esoterist Hindu. Although Rama joined traditional Catholicism, one should not forget that the major esoterist thinker, Rene Guenon, had stated that trad. Catholicism was the only authentic tradition in the West (but in Arab countries, you would have to be a Muslim, and in India a Hindu.), and I suspect this the reason the sun became Catholic.

While living like a traditionalist in the USA, Rama would send at the same time papers to French esoterist magazine, such as "Vers la tradition".

Coming back to the present text, it comes from an article here :

and here we can see that Rama has a table with the typical gnostic tripartite view of man as of being composed to three different components (body / soul / spirit) instead of the Catholic dualist view (body / soul).

For me he was a pseudo-catholic, defending traditionalism only because of his esoteric covert views.

So I am not surprised about him defending Freud, and I don't think Catholics should heed to that kind of writings by Rama Coomaraswamy,

Ever since ancient times and even unto today the penchant of Zionist
Jєωs to be obsessed with sex is unstoppable.  It has been there all
along, but it took Freud to make it somehow respectable, by way of
sophistries and complicated theories.  That doesn't make it virtuous,
but it does make it seductive -- provided the subject pays attention.

If you or I don't pay him any attention, then we don't get sucked in
to the seduction of his prurient thinking.

Fr. Gregorius Hesse put it most powerfully some dozen years ago, and
it's on a recording he made at the time. He said that if instead of Eve
in the Garden of Eden, it had been the Blessed Virgin Mary, she would
not have paused to even listen to the serpent. At the very most, she
may have turned to tell him where to go: "Go back to hell, from
whence you came!" Imagine how the history of the world would have
been different if Eve had responded with that kind of purity of heart.

And, he continued in his Austrian accent, we should have nothing to
do with the devil or with his agents.  Sigmund Freud is nothing other
than such an agent of the devil, and his writings are good for nothing,
so why should we read them?  When someone hands you his book, try
to remember to say this:  


"Send this back to hell, from whence it came."

Yeah, look how much good it did for Woody Allen.
