Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which the abuser attempts to diffuse confusion and self-doubt in their victim’s mind. By distorting reality and forcing the victim to question their own judgment, gaslighters are typically seeking to gain control and power over the other person. The whole purpose of gaslighting is to convince you that you are unable to trust your instincts, or even your thoughts, and therefore, cause you to question your entire reality.

Pour mieux comprendre la relation d'emprise, Anne-Laure Buffet propose, au carrefour de la psychanalyse, de la psychologie, de la sociologie et de la philosophie, d'en définir les acteurs principaux, d'observer comment se construit ce système, les raisons pour qu'il s'instaure et les différents contextes dans lesquels il peut se développer plus particulièrement.
