Gaslighting comes from a Hitchcock movie where the husband arranged for the gaslights to be dimmed then denies that they are dimming when the wife notices it, as a part of a campaign to make her believe she's going crazy by denying her reality.

I guess it could apply in therapy, with some therapists anyway. Especially the ones who deny the reality of their part in any relationship, and tell the client everything is in their own mind, or transference.

(My therapist did that to one of my books. And I had offered to pay him to read it!)
