I do think people misuse the word a lot though.  I'm sure I'm guilty of it too.

Here's the article....I guess I'll read it now:

Good article. And surprisingly applicable to today's politics, though that separates the term somewhat from
the "someone close" requirement for psychology. 

This is the movie version you want to see, should you choose to go to the source. 
Bad guy lowers the gaslights and when his wife (Bergman) notices, he acts like nothing has changed,
her perception is off, shouldn't be trusted . . . trust the bad guy's perception instead. 
He wants to commit her so he can inherit her wealth.

Like some "perfect phone calls" you may have heard of.
