English term or phrase: (to) gaslight
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 sentence(s):
  • 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

Izluđivanje


Definition from Wikipedia:
Izluđivanje je vrsta mentalnog nasilja u kojem napadač manipulira žrtvom na taj način da ona počinje sumnjati u svoje pamćenje, opažanja i percepciju stvarnosti, te u sebi počinje gajiti sumnje o vlastitom duševnom zdravlju.

Example sentence(s):
  • Izluđivanje ili Gaslighting – Jeste li žrtva ove posebne vrste manipulacije? - Atma.hr magazine  
  • Izluđivanje je oblik upornog ispiranja mozga koji uzrokuje žrtvu da sumnja u sebe i na kraju gubi vlastiti osjećaj percepcije, identiteta i samopouzdanja. - 24sata.hr news website  
  • Ponavljam riječi biskupa sisačkog, mons. Vlade Košića izrečene u Bleiburgu ove godine: „Prestanite, molimo vas, s tim izluđivanjem našega naroda. Neka se priznaju sve žrtve. Neka prestanu ponavljanja laži, pisanje nedogođene povijesti i krivotvorenje Istine!“ - Sibenski portal.hr news website
