What is Gaslighting and What Should You Do About it?
David Glass published his first of a 4-part series on “Gaslighting” in DivorceMag.com. He discusses the definition of the term “Gaslighting.”
Gaslighting is an increasingly talked-about type of interpersonal manipulation, often appearing in abusive relationships, and most commonly seen in romantic relationships. It is an undercover form of emotional abuse where the abuser misleads his or her victim by creating a false story by disregarding the victim’s concerns and complaints, and ultimately making the victim question his or her own observations, conclusions, and reality.
Types of Gaslighting include: Countering, Withholding, Trivializing, Denial, Diverting, Stereotyping

- Part Three: Case Studies of Gaslighting — concrete examples
