'''Stockholm Syndrome''' is a [[psychology | psychological]] phenomenon in which victims of kidnapping end up identifying with and possibly even defending their kidnappers. The term comes from a 1973 bank robbery in [[Stockholm]], [[Sweden]], in which four people were held hostage for six days, and ended up attempting to ward off the police's rescue efforts.
Three things are key to Stockholm Syndrome to exist: A very uneven power relationship, the threat of death or severe injury, and a self-preservation instinct.
