Stockholm syndrome refers to a group of psychological symptoms that occur in some persons in a captive or hostage situation. It has received considerable media publicity in recent years because it has been used to explain the behavior of such well-known kidnapping victims as Patty Hearst (1974) and Elizabeth Smart (2002).
Its important to understand the components of Stockholm Syndrome as they relate to abusive and controlling relationships. Once the syndrome is understood, its easier to understand why victims support, love, and even defend their abusers and controllers.
