What's the meaning of this part: "... take what might be called the official Freud literally, to assume he saying what, for the most part, he obviously thought he was saying."

'to assume he saying what' should be 'to assume he was saying what'?

解释:

- to take something literally = to take it at face-value
- take what might be called the official Freud literally, 即/这就是说to assume he was saying what, for the most part, he obviously thought he was saying.
- for the most part 大致上

literally = according to the words and not the intention 按字面意义 eg I took what he said literally, which may have been a mistake. 我将他所说的照字面意思来理解,但可能是错的. (朗文进阶词典)
