Definition from
Brittanica.com:
A technique of deception and psychological manipulation, usually practiced by a single deceiver, or “gaslighter,” on a single victim over an extended period. Its effect is to gradually undermine the victim’s confidence in their own ability to distinguish truth from falsehood, thereby rendering them dependent on the gaslighter.
Example sentences:
Is my brother being gaslighted by his boss? (The Spectator)
Toronto police gaslighted us on traffic enforcement. Their neglect put lives at risk. (The Star)
Student Health’s misdiagnosis delayed Matson from receiving necessary treatment and medication, negatively impacting her academic, social and emotional well-being. The gaslighting, which led to her questioning and blaming herself for her physical suffering, may potentially have longer lasting effect. (Duke Chronicle)

Note from asker:
| Do you think this translation includes inherent point about gaslighting whereby the 'victim' ends up doubting their own sanity and thus must rely on the 'gaslighter'? |
