By Arthur C. Brooks
What just happened?” you’re asking yourself.
You knew the conversation would be tricky because you had to tackle someone about their misbehavior. Maybe it was a colleague who claimed your work idea as their own; maybe it was a new friend who said nasty things behind your back; or maybe it was a romantic partner who was unfaithful. The evidence is incontrovertible—so much so that, had the boot been on the other foot, you would be confessing your error and asking for forgiveness. But that’s not this person’s MO.
No, in the face of clear wrongdoing, they denied everything. Instead of showing contrition, they counterattacked, maybe even accusing you of the very behavior they committed. To top it off, they played the victim and cast you as the real offender. The whole interaction left you upset and confused—even questioning your perception. Is it possible that you got the whole thing backwards?
Congratulations, you have just been mugged by DARVO, an acronym that stands for “Deny, attack, reverse victim and offender.” DARVO is a technique we may well encounter in our daily life when dealing with sociopathic personalities. This type of person-to-person psychological warfare is designed to deflect any penalty for misbehavior, and turn it instead into an opportunity to gain power over you. For a well-adjusted, mentally healthy person, to be DARVO’d is a bewildering and unsettling experience. But once you understand how the technique works, you’ll never have to be its victim again.
Arthur C. Brooks: The sociopaths among us—and how to avoid them
The acronym was devised in 1997 by the University of Oregon psychologist Jennifer Freyd, who has extensively studied domestic and sexual abuse, and the characteristics of those who often perpetrate it. She observed that when confronted with evidence of their misconduct, abusers typically begin by denying or minimizing culpability (“You’re making a big deal out of nothing”), before accusing the victim of creating the problem (“You regret what happened, and now you’re blaming me”) and then reversing the roles of victim and offender (“You should really be the one apologizing”).
And so on. The article may be paywalled. Maybe I'll c&p pieces of the rest of it in another post. Or three . . . .
A Defense Against Gaslighting Sociopaths

The DOJ has filed an Amicus brief in the 7th circuit court appeals AGAINST any AR style rifle ban AND against any magazine bans. This is major news.
