if you can bond with a capture because of close contact, imagine what people on opposing sides could do by talking and listening or maybe working together on one common goal

Patty Hearst was kidnapped in 1974 by the Symbionese Liberation Army. They were a radical group of domestic terrorists. She was so brainwashed she robbed at least one bank with them.

It's NOT love, there's nothing even remotely romantic about it. It's purely a survival mechanism and the brain's way of coping with an extremely severe trauma. When someone has control over EVERY aspect of your life, your movements, your food & drink, your ability to bathe, use a toilet, and is regularly physically abusing you for even the slightest perceived infraction to their rules (your fault or not)... You become an object, their slave, desperate to please them & since you don't know their rules, at first nothin 11g does make them happy... so you

Is this really that hard to believe when abused spouses and children defend their abusers?

Xenabuff, Belle never suffered from this disorder, she didn't even like the beast until he actually started being kind to her and she even actually ran away when he showed hostility to her and didn't want to come back. Pick up a book on what the disorder really means.

Player JCH, This is not a bond, it is brainwashing. It is usually based on the survival instinct. What it doesn't relate to (in any way) is being able to compromise or listen to a dissenting opinion.

DutchBaby120, I always thought that Patty Hearst was a victim of Stockholm Syndrome and should have never been sent to prison. I was glad when her sentence was commuted and when she was given a full pardon.

DutchBaby120, or she was a radical and faked girl and kidnapping to get money for the organization. which is what everyone thinks happened who is a lot back then. when she got caught, instant Stockholm Syndrome. having a rich Daddy who owned Hurst publishing helped a lot and her not being sent to jail for a very long time
