Description:
50 years ago, a man walked into a bank in Stockholm, Sweden with a machine gun, shot at the ceiling, and screamed "THE PARTY HAS JUST BEGUN!"

Little did he know, that this party would turn into a six-day long stand-off with police and be the birth of the now well-known term Stockholm Syndrome.

But did you know that despite being cited in numerous media reports of hostage situations and abuse cases, Stockholm Syndrome has never been included in the DSM? Therefore it’s not recognised as an official psychological condition…

So, what is Stockholm Syndrome exactly, and does it even exist?
