This study defines manipulation in interpersonal settings, distinguishing it from persuasion and coercion. It argues manipulation is intentional, questioning the concept of unconscious manipulation in psychiatry.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Philosophy
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • The term 'manipulation' is widely used but lacks clear definition in psychiatric discourse.
  • Previous conceptual analyses by philosophers and psychiatrists are reviewed.
  • Ordinary language use of 'manipulation' is examined.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose core characteristics of unambiguous interpersonal manipulation.
  • To differentiate manipulation from other behavior control methods like rational persuasion and coercion.
  • To explore the intentionality of manipulative behavior and the validity of 'unconscious manipulation'.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the term 'manipulation'.
  • Review of philosophical and psychiatric literature.

    • Main Results:

    • A set of characteristics defining the conceptual core of interpersonal manipulation is proposed.
    • Manipulation is characterized by deception and specific communicative contexts.
    • Manipulative behavior is argued to be fundamentally intentional, challenging the notion of unconscious manipulation.

    Conclusions:

    • The concept of manipulation warrants greater attention and discussion within the mental health community.
    • The proposal for a 'Manipulative Personality Disorder' diagnostic category is rejected.
    • Clarifying the definition of manipulation is crucial for psychiatric understanding and practice.
