Freudians fade away from breakdowns? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ruins
'breakdowns?' is the definition.
'freudians fade away' is the wordplay.
'away' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'freudians' with 'fade' removed is 'RUINS'.
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for ruins that I've seen before include "dilapidated buildings" , "Rubble" , "Wrecked buildings" , "Spoils" , "Destroys" .)
