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

'was explored by freud' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'new opus dei compound' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'compound' becomes 'complex' (similar in meaning).
'opus'+'dei'='opusdei'
'opusdei' is an anagram of 'oedipus'.
'oedipus'+'complex'='OEDIPUS-COMPLEX'

'that' is the link.
