Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with the captors
Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding , which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes "strong emotional ties that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other
Stockholm syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg Robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalstorg in Stockholm, Sweden.
During the crime, several bank employees were held hostage in a bank vault from August 23 to 28, 1973, while their captors negotiated with police.
During this standoff, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, rejected assistance from government officials at one point, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal
