# Narcissistic Abuse A popular-clinical term for the pattern of manipulation inflicted by a person with strong narcissistic traits — gaslighting, the extraction of [[Narcissistic Supply]], devaluation, the recruitment of proxies (see Flying Monkeys), and [[Coercive Control]]. Popularized by clinicians like [[Ramani Durvasula]], it connects the [[Narcissism]] cluster to the abuse-psychology material ([[Lundy Bancroft]], [[Why Does He Do That?]]) and, by analogy, to authoritarian power dynamics. > [!note] Stub > Minimum-viable page created to resolve inbound wikilinks.
