What is Gaslighting?

In last night's episode of Falling Skies (Season 3, episode 8), Tom Mason mentioned that he suspected that somebody was gaslighting him. So What is "gaslighting"?

According to Wikipedia, it is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making a victim doubt his or her own memory, perception and sanity. Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim.
