DARVO (nonfiction)

DARVO is an acronym for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender."

It is used to describe a common strategy of abusers: deny the abuse, then attack the victim for attempting to make them accountable for their offense, thereby reversing victim and offender.

This may involve gaslighting and victim blaming.
