- Observation: Mapping victim’s respected traits—technical skills, communication, personality markers.
- Elimination: Removing the victim from visibility and recognition.
- Adoption: Gradually incorporating intellectual contributions, style, and personal identity markers.
- Double Harm:
- Invisibility: Victim’s originality and identity are erased.
- Symbolic Gain: Gaslighter strengthens status and influence by impersonating the victim.
