Yes, exactly! Freudian theory holds that branding people as "other" or "evil" is an unconscious act of self-loathing, a defense against it, actually.

These two passages really struck me:

"Nevertheless, I answered that I had pretty much lost the habit of analyzing myself and that it was hard for me to tell him what he wanted to know.I probably did love Maman, but that didn't mean anything."

"I explained to him, however,that my nature was such that my physical needs often got in the way of my feelings."
