Gaslighting

I have the sense that there’s a close connection between stereotyping and gaslighting.

Below are links to three articles that describe what gaslighting is, and how to counter it.

An April 18, 2016 Slate article is entitled: “From Theater to Therapy to Twitter, the Eerie History of Gaslighting.”

A Jan. 22, 2017 Psychology Today article is entitled: “Gaslighting: Know It and Identify It to Protect Yourself: Gaslighting is a manipulation tactic used to gain power. And it works too well.”

A March 16, 2017 Guardian article is entitled: “How to survive gaslighting: when manipulation erases your reality: Ariel Leve offers strategies to stay resilient in the face of psychological abuse that distorts the truth – much like what’s coming from Trump’s administration.”
