In some cases, hostages may develop sympathies for their captors and their cause — and even turn against the police.]]> 2023-09-20 16:50:40 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2713173255 danielamontandon https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2713670633 This phrase was created in 1976, Sweden. The name arose after the strange relationship between the thieves of a bank and three hostages who worked in it]]> 2023-09-21 00:52:10 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2713670633 danielamontandon https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2713675864 Stockholm syndrome isn’t a psychological diagnosis. Instead, it is a way of understanding the emotional response some people have towards a captor or abuser.

• Being in an emotionally charged situation for a long time
• Being in a shared space with the hostage-taker with poor conditions (e.g. not enough food, physically uncomfortable space)
• When hostages are dependent on a hostage-taker for basic needs
• When threats to life are not carried out (e.g. mock executions)
• When hostages haven’t been dehumanized 
  • Personality
  •Genetics
  •Mental health history
  •Situational factors of the crime

It is not love, that the victim feels, he or she turns to positivity in order to survive. Love is unconditional and is far from the abusive dynamic between a victim and a kidnapper.]]> 2023-09-21 01:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2713682033 danielamontandon https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730907224 What does the Stockholm Syndrome do to a person?
Victims who develop Stockholm Syndrome develop positive feelings towards the Pearson abusing them or holding them hostage and in some cases they might want to protect them.
Noel Hunter, (a clinical psychologist and director of MindClear Integrative Psychotherapy in New York City) explains that this psychological defense may also allow for survival among some victims who learn to develop a close attachment with their abuser.

No, it can be a coping mechanism or emotional response to any abusive situation (which means it’s more common than we think), whether domestic violence, child abuse, abusive work situations or even coach-athletes relations.]]> 2023-10-03 20:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730915254 danielamontandon https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730923544 Is the Stockholm Syndrome a mental health condition?
Contrary to popular thinking, this phenomenon is not defined as a mental health condition. Is considered an emotional and mental response by the American Psychiatric Association.]]> 2023-10-03 20:45:45 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730923544 danielamontandon https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730955680 Are there treatment options?
Since it is not a mental disorder, there is no evidence that a specific cure exists for this phenomenon. What is usually done in these cases is to give trauma therapy for a long time, where the person is helped to understand what happened and eventually break the bond created with the aggressor.]]> 2023-10-03 21:24:39 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730955680 danielamontandon https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730971006 Why is Stockholm Syndrome a coping mechanism?
This defense mechanism is mainly used when someone is unable to escape the situation, rely on others for help, or fight back. Some experts believe it is an adaptive response that helps a victim maintain hope, empathy, and limit the negative psychological effects of the trauma.]]> 2023-10-03 21:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/danielamontandon/6z8qkxley4pk1isz/wish/2730971006
