stockholm syndrome is a fake condition rooted in misogyny, has literally no diagnostic criteria, and is not a term used by psychologists or psychiatrists. the dude inspired a false narrative. as a criminal, that’s pretty fitting.
do you know how he was involved with the inception of the term or how it originated?
Also, does it really have to be a diagnosable thing to just be a term for getting chummy with someone who is holding you?
To clarify, “Stockholm syndrome” was coined in regard to a woman who was held hostage by bank robbers in Sweden. When interviewed later, the woman recounted that neither the police nor the mayor seemed concerned with her safety, so she buddied up with the robbers to maximize her chances of survival.
