Psychological Manipulation

The psychological manipulation may be defined as the application of inappropriate influence through mental distortion and emotional abuse, with the intention of acquiring power, control, or benefits at the victim's expense.

An important distinction should be made between healthy social influence and psychological manipulation.

A healthy social influence takes place between most people and is part of the give-and-take of constructive relationships.

In psychological manipulation, an individual is used for the personal benefit of another. The manipulator intentionally creates an unbalanced power equilibrium and exploits the victim to serve their purposes.
