So what is Stockholm Syndrome?!
Stockholm syndrome isn't a psychological diagnosis. Instead, it's a way of understanding the emotional response some people have toward a captor or an abuser. It happens to some abuse and hostage victims when they have positive feelings toward an abuser or a captor.
This condition gets its name from a 1973 bank robbery incident that happened in Stockholm, Sweden. During the six-day standoff with police, many of the captive bank employees became sympathetic toward the bank robbers. After they were set free, some bank employees refused to testify against the bank robbers in court and even raised money for their defense.
A criminologist and psychiatrist, named Nils Bejerot, investigating the event developed the term, “Stockholm syndrome” to describe the affinity some bank employees showed toward the bank robbers.
