      I don’t think anyone knows what Stockholm Syndrome is, as it’s just a concept and isn’t recognized as real because it’s usually just used as a blanket term thrown around when people don’t actually know what the specific underlying issues are.

        Just because something isn’t an academic term doesn’t mean it’s not a real concept.

        I haven’t seen any published scientific articles about you, are you sure you’re real?

          Alright. Autism is caused by vaccines then. Just because enough people believes something exists doesn’t make something real. Humans do grow attached to people they are in proximity to. It has nothing to do with being the person holding you there.

        Huh? It’s the notion of captives forming a bond with their captors. People are using it to convey that simple psychological concept. It’s “usually” used for that purpose.

          I think you missed the point of the response and should look into the scientific evidence for Stockholm syndrome.

            I think it appears you’ve missed the point of my response, wherein the existence of “scientific evidence” for Stockholm Syndrome is unimportant; The phrase “Stockholm Syndrome” being a part of vernacular meant to convey the notion of captives forming bonds with their captors is helpful for communication irrespective of the existence or veracity of a psychological diagnosis related to the phrase. The point of their response was defeatism through judgment and their own superiority.

              Even in that context, it’s not really a thing. It’s something that happened once and had a name attached to it. That’s it. The rest is pop science garbage.

            syndrome
            a group of symptoms which consistently occur together, or a condition characterized by a set of associated symptom

            LGTM.

            Just grouping symptoms. Not implying the assumption of any cause.

            The problem arises when people start considering this one name to be good enough as a diagnosis.
