HI FELICIA .
WO AI NEH.
Stockholm Syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy
and have positive feelings towards their captors, sometimes to the
point of defending them. These feelings are generally considered
irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who
essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.
Stockholm syndrome is named after the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken at Norrmalmstorg in Stockholm,
Sweden in which several bank employees were held hostage in a bank
vault from August 23 to August 28, 1973. During this situation, the
victims became emotionally attached to their captors, rejected
assistance from government officials at one point and even defended them
after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.
