Like some analysts if under a cloud (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

freudian

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are adjectives, I don't see how they can define each other.

'some analysts if under a cloud' is the wordplay.
'if under a' can be anagrammed to 'FREUDIAN'.
But, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for freudian that I've seen before include "-------- slip, perhaps revealing an unconscious thought" , "Relating to a particular psychoanalyst" , "Like subconscious slip" , "To do with psychiatrist Sigmund - maybe a slip" , "Error revealing an unconscious thought" .)
