From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Gaslighting

Gaslighting was an abuse and brainwashing tactic, wherein the abuser convinced their victim to doubt their own perceptions or mental fortitude, deceiving them into believing a false narrative. According to River Song, Madame Kovarian gaslighted all the proto-Time Lords she created, including Melody Pond herself. (AUDIO: The Furies)
