Stockholm Syndrome Example
Historical Account★★★★In Stockholm, Sweden in 1973, a man who had just gotten out of jail wandered into a bank with his gun and held everyone hostage. The standoff lasted for days, during which hostages began to identify with their captor. One woman was so appreciative that the robber let her wander around on a leash that she told police how wonderful he was when he was captured.
