Failure To Stop

255. NIGHTSHIFT: Stockholm Syndrome


Listen Later

The condition in which a hostage bonds with their captor and potentially has feelings of admiration. The term was coined after a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, in 1973. This heist resulted in 4 hostages that begged their captors' innocents once the dust settled. We will also talk about other famous cases that resulted in this phenomenon. Patty Hearst, Natasha Kampusch, and Elizabeth Smart are just three examples. Is this a real condition? Do you believe this legitimately happens in a person's psyche?
