The phenomenon is ... called ... the Stockholm Syndrome, because the first significant occurrence was in that city. ...

CONT

The Stockholm Syndrome works both ways. Hostages identify with their captors, but just as often captors identify with their hostages. ... "It is a mutual safety valve that frequently prevents violence." ... sometimes the hostages get into such a secure position that they fail to act on wide-open opportunities to bring the hostage-taking to an end.
