September 27, 2019 EZSTT #4: The Harley Syndrome
In this week's tank we study the hyperactivity sidekick to the Joker: Dr. Harleen Quinzel a.k.a. Harley Quinn. We dive into how she is much more than the Joker's sidekick and how she may be associated with a real life syndrome that people have encountered. We discuss some of her backstory, her association with Stockholm Syndrome and some real life cases of Stockholm Syndrome. As promised, below are some articles I take from that explain what Stockholm Syndrome and Battered Woman Syndrome is. Also Happy 80 years of Batman (National Batman Day was 9/21).
