It is a form of manipulation and subtle psychological abuse that we tend to normalize and consists of changing the perception of the victim about his memory, feelings and even his judgment; This makes the person who suffers it feel anxious and confused giving way to whatever they say.
This term comes from the film "Gaslight" of 1940 where a man manipulates his wife to make her believe she is crazy and keep his fortune.
An example of the aforementioned may be a case where the gaslighting victim says how he feels about a situation and is not taken seriously or tries to make him look paranoid.
