What are techniques for psychologically gaslighting a person, like in the movie Gaslight from many years ago?
<|assistant|>
Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which an individual manipulates another person by lying to them and deliberately creating confusion and doubt over their own actions and memories.  Some common techniques used for gaslighting a person include denial of the gaslighter’s lies, twisting the truth to cast the gaslightee in a bad light, and outright refusal to accept responsibility for their own behavior. The gaslighter might also use selective omission or manipulation of evidence to their own advantage or even use a smear campaign to discredit the gaslightee in the eyes of others. The ultimate goal is to induce the gaslightee to question their sanity as an effort to have them to doubt their own version of reality and to become more susceptible to further manipulation.
