DARVO
Manipulation & Control Tactics

DARVO

A manipulation tactic where someone Denies wrongdoing, Attacks the victim, and Reverses the roles of Victim and Offender.

DARVO stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It is a highly effective defense mechanism used by emotionally immature or narcissistic individuals to avoid accountability. By swiftly changing the narrative, the EIP forces you into a defensive position, completely derailing the original issue you tried to address.
