Stockholm syndrome

It was in Kreditbanken, which formerly occupied the ground floor of the building in which the hotel is now located, where the term "Stockholm syndrome" was coined in 1973. Four hostages were taken during a bank robbery. The hostages defended their captors after being released and would not agree to testify in court against them.[3] It was noted that in this case, however, the police were perceived to have acted with little care for the hostages' safety,[4] providing an alternative reason for their unwillingness to testify. Stockholm syndrome is paradoxical because the sympathetic sentiments that captives feel towards their captors are the opposite of the fear and disdain which an onlooker might feel towards the captors.
