Gaslighting

Autore: Hélène Frappat

Numero di pagine: 206

Paula è una cantante e ha appena sposato Gregory, un pianista mediocre. Gregory però è solo interessato alla ricchezza di Paula. Così, cerca di impadronirsene facendole credere di essere impazzita. Facendole credere che i lumi a gas nella loro dimora non si abbassino di continuo – manovrati da lui, che nega – ma siano solo il riflesso della sua mente malata. Paula, a cui nessuno crede mai, finisce per perdere la voce. Questo accade in Gaslight (Angoscia in Italia), indimenticabile film di George Cukor con Ingrid Bergman e Charles Boyer, da cui ha avuto origine il termine e la tecnica di manipolazione a esso associata, gaslighting. Da allora il gaslighting è diventato concetto cardine del nostro tempo, parola dell’anno 2022 secondo il Merriam-Webster, e in questo libro Hélène Frappat si mette sulle sue tracce, partendo dalle figure femminili «messe a tacere» dalla Storia – da Antigone e Cassandra a Marilyn Monroe – per allarga re il discorso alla società tutta. Non solo le donne infatti sono bersaglio del gaslighting, crimine perfetto nella sua sottile violenza: ciò di cui si accusa l’interlocutore non è mai accaduto e la vittima è privata della propria...

Gaslighting

Autore: Kelly Oliver , Hanna Kiri Gunn , Holly Longair

Numero di pagine: 356

A feminist introduction to emerging philosophical understandings of gaslighting. Originating in a 1938 play, the term gaslighting has become part of our everyday vocabulary. But do we truly know what it means? This collection of new and foundational essays explores concepts and experiences of gaslighting from philosophical perspectives. Contributors build on longstanding feminist analyses of the relations among knowledge, affect, and power to consider how gaslighting can work at not only individual but also structural levels to undermine its targets. In examining racial, epistemological, medical, affective, political, and other forms of gaslighting, the book helps illuminate contemporary power relations and provides urgently needed tools for further research in and beyond the field of philosophy.

Gaslighting

Autore: Janis Bryans Psy.d

Numero di pagine: 129

Do you always feel the need to apologise in your relationship? Does it make you anxious? Are you led to believe that you’re crazy? Do you know someone who has the power to make you feel guilty, trapped and confused? Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse that occurs in abusive relationships. It’s the act of manipulating a person by forcing them to question their thoughts, memories, and the events that occur around them. A victim of gaslighting can be pushed so far that they question their own sanity. Gaslighting can happen in many types of relationship, including those with bosses, friends and parents; but probably the most devastating form of gaslighting is when it occurs in a relationship between a couple. Have you been led to believe that you’re crazy by someone who is, in fact, crazy? People who gaslight become experts in pushing your buttons. They know your sensitivities and vulnerabilities and use that knowledge against you. They make you doubt yourself, your judgment, your memory and even your sanity. Examples include: - I never said that! That’s not even something I would say! - It breaks my heart to hear that you actually think that I intended to hurt you. - I...

On Gaslighting

Autore: Kate Abramson

Numero di pagine: 232

A philosopher examines the complicated phenomenon of gaslighting “Gaslighting” is suddenly in everyone’s vocabulary. It’s written about, talked about, tweeted about, even sung about (in “Gaslighting” by The Chicks). It’s become shorthand for being manipulated by someone who insists that up is down, hot is cold, dark is light—someone who isn’t just lying about such things, but trying to drive you crazy. The term has its origins in a 1944 film in which a husband does exactly that to his wife, his crazy-making efforts symbolized by the rise and fall of the gaslights in their home. In this timely and provocative book, Kate Abramson examines gaslighting from a philosophical perspective, investigating it as a distinctive moral phenomenon. Gaslighting, Abramson writes, is best understood as a form of interpersonal interaction, a particular way of fundamentally undermining someone. The gaslighter, Abramson argues, aims to make his target experience herself as incapable of reasoning, perceiving, or reacting in ways that would allow her to form appropriate beliefs, perceptions, or emotions in the first place. He seeks not only to induce in her this unmoored sense of...

Mind Control Language Patterns

Autore: Dantalion Jones

Numero di pagine: 242

Mind Control Language Patterns are spoken phrases that can act as ""triggers"" to the people who hear them. In short, they influence and control how we respond and cause us to be influenced to do things without our knowing. These language patterns are not fantasies but are based on documented uses that come from, psychology, hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming and studies of human behavior. Mind Control Language Patterns can be used to help and hurt. One can use Mind Control Language Patterns to create positive and lasting change in people, as well as feelings of trust, love and affections. They can also be used to induce amnesia, fear, insecurity and doubt. These types of patterns are what we call ""dark"" pattern.

Crimes of Punishment

Autore: Theodore L. Dorpat

Numero di pagine: 308

This groundbreaking book by an award-winning psychoanalyst and forensic psychiatrist presents a comprehensive exploration of a timely but often taboo topic: the failure of punishment to deter crime and violence, an issue that affects us both individually and as a culture. Written at the culmination of the author s fifty-year career as a psychoanalyst, forensic psychologist and scholar, this wide-ranging work identifies the origins of violence and investigates the surprising consequences of punishment from a multitude of perspectives. In his treatment of the topic, Dr. Dorpat utilizes scientific research; ethical reasoning, and his vast clinical experience and insight. He also suggests the benefits of new and emerging humane alternatives to the revenge/punishment model currently entrenched in our society, such as restorative justice. In contrast to most contemporary measures, these new approaches while still imprisoning dangerous individuals effectively stress reparation and forms of sanctioning other than incarceration. When restitution replaces revenge, everyone benefits. Crimes of Punishment examines four key, interrelated social methods of punishment. These are (1) the corporal ...

The Gaslight Effect Recovery Guide

Autore: Dr. Robin Stern

Numero di pagine: 389

This informative guided journal helps victims of gaslighting understand the dynamics of challenging and unhealthy relationships—and how to leave one—from the author of The Gaslight Effect. In 2007, Dr. Robin Stern coined the phrase "gaslight effect" to explain the long-term effects of repeated gaslighting: an insidious and sometimes covert form of emotional abuse in which a gaslighter undermines and controls another person by deflecting, twisting, and denying their reality. Gaslighting can happen in a romantic relationship, between family members, or at work—but in every case, it leaves you constantly second-guessing yourself, unable to make simple decisions, and destabilized from the constant reality shifts. The Gaslight Effect Recovery Guide is a tool for personal exploration that will help you identify if you are part of a pattern of emotional abuse and pull yourself out of that dynamic with a few crucial mindset shifts. Through prompts, checklists, quizzes, and guided reflective questions, you will explore past and present relationships, gain the confidence to leave an abusive partner or set boundaries in an unavoidable situation, and heal after gaslighting.

Contemporary Insights And Transformative Perspectives In Human Development: Review Papers, Critical Reflections And Emerging Paradigms

Autore: Prof Dr Kamini Prakash Rege

Numero di pagine: 109

The reviewed literature underscores the evolving and multifaceted nature of human development in contemporary society. Young adults today face complex relational, technological, and societal pressures that shape their emotional, psychological, and social trajectories. A prominent concern is the prevalence of dating abuse and psychological manipulation, often involving coercion, emotional degradation, and isolation, which can result in lasting impacts on self-esteem and mental health. Relatedly, the experience of being “ghosted” reflects broader patterns of emotional unavailability and normalization of abrupt relationship dissolution, contributing to anxiety, abandonment issues, and mistrust. Social media plays a dual role in mental health discourse. While it helps destigmatize psychological disorders, the commodification and misuse of diagnostic labels have led to widespread self-diagnosis and misinformation. This trivialization can obscure the severity of genuine mental health conditions and reduce the perceived value of professional care. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence also significantly influence the development of children and adolescents. While...

Epistemic Injustice and the Philosophy of Recognition

Autore: Paul Giladi , Nicola Mcmillan

Numero di pagine: 418

This volume includes original essays that examine the underexplored relationship between recognition theory and key developments in critical social epistemology. Its aims are to explore how far certain kinds of epistemic injustice, epistemic oppression, and types of ignorance can be understood as distorted varieties of recognition and to determine whether contemporary work on epistemic injustice and critical social epistemology more generally have significant continuities with theories of recognition in the Frankfurt School tradition. Part I of the book focuses on bringing recognition theory and critical social epistemology into direct conversation. Part II is devoted to analysing a range of case studies that are evocative of contemporary social struggles. The essays in this volume propose answers to a number of thought-provoking questions at the intersection of these two robust philosophical subfields, such as the following: how well can different types of epistemic injustice be understood as types of recognition abuses? How useful is it to approach different forms of social oppression as recognition injustices and/or as involving epistemic injustice? What limitations do we...

Writing Saved Me

Autore: Cristina Masters , Shine Choi , Marysia Zalewski , Swati Parashar

Numero di pagine: 245

Writing is a central part of the life of a scholar-academic. The writing that makes it into public spaces, however, is but a glimpse of the writing we do and might find meaningful. This edited volume is an attempt to collect writing that often remains hidden in academia – the email exchange with a student or colleagues, the writing that grapples with our loneliness, rage, and failures – and yet provide crucial insight into the ugly realities of global politics and the work that gets done on it (or not) in the neoliberal, extractive university.

Empathic Justice: Taking Down the Narcissist and Reclaiming Your Life

Autore: Janette Viney

Numero di pagine: 27

Introduction Explanation of Empathy Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. It’s a powerful tool that allows us to connect with those around us and build strong, meaningful relationships. For empaths, empathy is not just a skill or trait, it’s a way of life. They have a heightened ability to feel what others are feeling and to sense the emotions of those around them. This is why empaths are often described as “sensitive,” “intuitive,” and “emotional.” Empathy is not just about feeling sorry for someone or being sympathetic. It’s about truly understanding and sharing the emotions of others. It’s about being able to put yourself in their shoes and feel what they are feeling. This is why empathy is so important in relationships, both personal and professional. It allows us to connect with others on a deeper level and build strong, lasting bonds. For empaths, empathy is not just a tool for building relationships, it’s a way of protecting themselves from the toxic inuence of narcissists. Narcissists are individuals who lack empathy and have an inated sense of selfimportance. They are manipulative, self-centered, and often abusive....

Language in a Failed State

Autore: Samia Bazzi

Numero di pagine: 156

This book examines public, political and media discourse in the context of failed states using Lebanon, a country torn by wars and political-financial corruption, as a contemporary case study. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), the author brings political and economic theories into dialogue with socio-linguistics to argue that public discourse in a failed state not only plays a role in that collapse but is a key presenting symptom of social disintegration. Through CDA, the book makes this phenomenon visible, and contributes to existing definitions of the concept “failed” or “fragile” state. In addition, the qualitative data and analysis provided offer a tool to assess a state’s vulnerability to collapse. The book also expands the sociolinguistic model to eavesdrop on the zeitgeist of the nation in order to examine the degrees of social cohesion, sectarianism and bonding. This book will be of interest to discourse analysts, journalists, politicians, policy-makers, and economists.

"Don't You Know Who I Am?"

Autore: Ramani S. Durvasula Ph.d

Numero di pagine: 373

“Don’t You Know Who I Am?” has become the mantra of the famous and infamous, the entitled and the insecure. It’s the tagline of the modern narcissist. Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized. They are manifestations of pathological insecurity—insecurities that are experienced at both the individual and societal level. The paradox is that we value these patterns. We venerate them through social media, mainstream media, and consumerism, and they are endemic in political, corporate, academic, and media leaders. There are few lives untouched by narcissists. These relationships infect those who are in them with self-doubt, despair, confusion, anxiety,...

Lies

Autore: Rachelle M. Smith

Numero di pagine: 345

This encyclopedia examines the phenomenon of deception from a variety of perspectives and in a multitude of contexts. It offers readers an accessibly written and engaging resource that sheds light on when, why, and how we lie. Ironically, it seems to be a universal truth that everyone lies. From innocent "white lies" to elaborate deceptions, humans appear to be hard-wired for dishonesty. But what psychological or evolutionary purpose does lying serve? What motivates us to lie, and what effects do such lies have on those around us and on our own physiology and mental health? What are the differences between types of lies, and how do various forms of dishonesty manifest themselves in such areas as politics, advertising, and social media? And, perhaps most importantly, how can we spot liars in our everyday lives and encourage those around us—and even ourselves—to be more honest? Lies: The Science behind Deception provides a broad and multifaceted introduction to this fascinating topic. More than 175 entries address the many forms of lying, the purpose and development of such behaviors, and their consequences. It also includes practical sidebars that help readers to deal with...

Phenomenology of Broken Habits

Autore: Line Ryberg Ingerslev , Karl Mertens

Numero di pagine: 297

This volume explores the phenomenology of broken habits and their affective, social, and involuntary dimensions. It shows how disruptive experiences impact self-understanding and social embeddedness. The chapters in this volume investigate the epistemic and existential relevance of breakdown of habits and the corresponding kinds of self-understanding available to the agent. The first part focuses on the double-sidedness of habitual life. On the one hand, habits allow us to arrange and navigate in a familiar home world; on the other hand, habits can take hold of us in such a way that we lose our sense of autonomy. The contributors argue that habitual agency is structurally carried by a dynamic that entails both freedom and necessity. As habits enable us to inhabit and thus acquire a world, they also affectively provide a texture and a background for our feeling at home in the world. The chapters in Part 2 focus on the breakdowns of our habitual social and technological life forms and the phenomenology of their affective texture. History and habitual learning are sedimented in our body memory and in our language, and these sedimented layers are partly out of our direct control. Part ...

Why Didn't Evangelicals "See Him Coming"?

Autore: Paul A. Pomerville

Numero di pagine: 287

Why Didn’t Evangelicals “See Him Coming”? is a hard-hitting, clear-eyed account of how American society, the political establishment, and the rule of law reacted to a sociopath president. After Donald Trump left office, Americans didn’t “see him going” either. Trump came and went, yet millions of Americans were “clueless” about what happened because of his “gaslighting tornado.” An evangelical Christian author explains why Bible-believing, church-going, Jesus-talking, America-loving evangelicals, along with other Americans, listened to, were enamored by, and elected an immoral sociopath. An unlikely combination of viewpoints—psychology, law, and biblical theology—provide a surprising, coherent picture of how Donald Trump deceived and inflicted devastation on democracy. His uncanny influence is chronicled by media reporting during his four years in office and afterwards in a “shadow presidency” at Mar-a-Lago. If Trump succeeded in anything, it was deceit. Psychologists rightly attribute this to his “gaslighting”; biblical theology probes deeper, to his corrupt human nature. An FBI search warrant at Mar-a-Lago revealed the inevitable truth: Donald...

The Empathy Trap

Autore: Jane Mcgregor

Numero di pagine: 117

Sociopathy affects an estimated 1- 4% of the population, but not all sociopaths are cold-blooded murderers. They're best described as people without a conscience, who prey on those with high levels of empathy, but themselves lack any concern for others' feelings and show no remorse for their actions. Drawing on real life cases, The Empathy Trap: Understanding Antisocial Personalities explores this taboo subject and looks at how people can protect themselves against these arch-manipulators. Topics include: - Defining sociopathy, and related conditions such as psychopathy, narcissism, and personality disorder - How sociopaths operate and why they're often difficult to spot - Identifying sociopathic behavior - The sociopath's relations with other people and why they often go unpunished - Coping with the aftermath of a destructive relationship - Re-establishing boundaries and control of your life - Practical advice for keeping sociopaths at bay - Resources and further help.

It features original essays from leading scholars that promise to significantly shape future debates in this emerging area of epistemology. While the nature of and value of autonomy has long been discussed in ethics and social and political philosophy, it remains an underexplored area of epistemology. The essays in this collection take up several interesting questions and approaches related to epistemic autonomy. Topics include the nature of epistemic autonomy, whether epistemic paternalism can be justified, autonomy as an epistemic value and/or vice, and the relation of epistemic autonomy to social epistemology and epistemic injustice. Epistemic Autonomy will be of interest to researchers and advanced students working in epistemology, ethics, and social and political philosophy.

Gaslight Melodrama

Autore: Guy Barefoot

Numero di pagine: 242

In 1945, a year when American crime films were apparently moving out on to the streets of contemporary Los Angeles and New York, one reviewer noted the emergence of a 'cycle of mystery and horror pictures placed in the gaslight era of the turn of the century.' For another critic, it seemed that for Hollywood there was 'no world of today save the world of London by gaslight'. In Gaslight Melodrama, Guy Barefoot examines the films that gave rise to such comments, and the pattern of discourse that gave rise to such films. The book's main focus is provided by 1940s Hollywood melodramas such as Gaslight, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Hangover Square. It also discusses a related cycle of British films that located murder and melodrama in Victorian or Edwardian settings, and then looks beyond cinema to the Gothic novels of the 18th century, 19th century discussions of gas lighting in street, home and theatre, and ambivalent 20th century responses to the Victorian era. Combining close analysis of particular film texts with attention to cinema's cultural context, Gaslight Melodrama provides an exploration of the ways in which the past has been the site of contested meaning, and an...

Why It's OK to Have Bad Spelling and Grammar

Autore: Jessica Flanigan

Numero di pagine: 199

Grammatical errors and orthographic mishaps are often played for laughs, but this subtle sanctioning by the sticklerocracy can have real social consequences too. Attention to prescriptive spelling and grammar rules is insidious and harmful. As Jessica Flanigan argues in Why It’s OK to Have Bad Spelling and Grammar, grammarianism often maintains hierarchies, entrenches the advantages of privileged groups, and imposes arbitrary barriers to knowledge production and innovation. For example, the stigmatization of bad spelling and grammar disadvantages linguistic minorities, non-native speakers, and people with disabilities. Spelling and grammar norms are also frequently arbitrary and unnecessary. The petty grammandos among us, who cling to pedantic linguistic conventions, are standing in the way of innovative forms of communication and efficient speech, such as the emoji ☺. For these reasons, Flanigan argues that bad spelling and grammar are OK. It’s time to break free from the tyranny of the grammilitia in the name of comprehension and creativity. As long as speakers and writers can effectively communicate to charitable listeners and readers, people shouldn’t care about bad...

Psychoanalytic and Historical Perspectives on the Leadership of Donald Trump

Autore: Michael Maccoby , Ken Fuchsman

Numero di pagine: 216

What is Donald Trump’s personality? Is he mentally ill? What in American culture and history enabled him to become president? How does his personality shape his policies and leadership? In this fascinating and highly relevant new book, these questions are answered by a selection of expert contributors, including psychoanalysts, historians, and a sociologist. Narcissism is defined and applied to Donald Trump, his personal history and style of leadership, and the relationship between Trump and his base is explored as a symptom of his needs and the needs of his followers. U.S. culture and U.S. politics are put under the lens, as chapters draw on contemporary academic and journalistic analysis, continuing discussions around gaslighting, demagoguery, and fascism in terms of their validity in application to Trump. Psychoanalytic and Historical Perspectives on the Leadership of Donald Trump refutes many of the mental health experts who label Trump as suffering from a narcissistic personality disorder and makes the case that Trump’s personality combines a marketing and narcissistic orientation that determines his behavior and policies. The authors also assert that to understand...
