How People are Manipulated: The Truth About ‘Red Flags’, ‘Gaslighting’, Fake Narcissists and Real Problems

This book discusses how popular psychological terms (gaslighting, narcissism, abuse, triggers, OCD, and others) have transformed from professional tools into sources of quarrels and manipulations.

The author, clinical psychologist Isabel Morley, illustrates with practical examples how real disorders differ from ordinary bad behavior and everyday disagreements. You will learn to distinguish healthy difficulties in relationships from abusive ones and to constructively resolve conflicts.

This is the first guide dedicated to "therapeutic slang" as manipulation. It teaches how to recognize where real clinical cases are and where there are simple misunderstandings and human imperfections, helping readers avoid toxic hyperdiagnosis in relationships.
