Stockholm syndrome
The Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in a hostage, in which the hostage exhibits loyalty to the hostage-taker, in spite of the danger (or at least risk) in which the hostage has been placed.[1] Stockholm syndrome is also sometimes discussed in reference to other situations with similar tensions, such as battered person syndrome,[2] child abuse cases, and bride kidnapping.
