How many of us really know the definition of this phrase? Stockholm may sound like the name of a place. Google, anyone? Yes! It’s actually the capital of Sweden which is the main centre of cultural, media, political, and economic attributes of the country.
How about syndrome? Yea, we don’t need Google to tell us this. We all know that syndrome may be related to a group of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, psychological disorder, or other abnormal condition.
But in this case, it’s not really a terminally related disorder. It’s somewhat of a psychological attachment that people develop over a hostile force. Let’s take a situational scene for example.
A plane that has been hijacked and compromised by a group of extremists, would cause immense wary to the authorities and passengers of the flight. The pilot, cabin crew and passengers are all threatened and feared by the extremists. In the ordeal, the hostile force may have been brutal and fearsome in their handling. However, the passengers develop a sense of belonging among themselves, cooperating and figuring every single way to get loose from the grips of terror! In rare (but proved to have happened) cases, the hostages form an inexplicable fond feeling towards the hijackers. This so called ‘disease’ is named as Stockholm Syndrome!
The use of the name Stockholm is due to the infamous heist which happened years ago, called the Norrmalmstorg robbery of Kreditbanken which took place at Norrmalmsotrg in Stockholm, Sweden. During the crime, several bank employees were held hostage in a bank vault from August 23 to 28, 1973, while their captors negotiated with police. During this standoff, the victims became emotionally attached to their captors, rejected assistance from government officials at one point, and even defended their captors after they were freed from their six-day ordeal.
It’s really an interesting phenomenon in terms of psychological study that can be deeply investigated. Over the years, many researches relatable to this syndrome have been conducted. Having done these investigations, psychology researchers feel that this syndrome could probably answer thousands of questions that we all have within ourselves related to our marriage, sex and relationship life.

From the previous novel, THE FALSE BRIDE, I’ve learnt that many of the readers are deeply involved in unconditional love in their lives. I believe you all have learnt a great many things from that novel.
Behold, I’d like to introduce my upcoming story entitled THE ABDUCTION. Here’s to a fascinating story that is based on real-life situation. I’m pretty sure many of you never imagined your love life love would be purely circumstantial. If you think that was unforeseen, then think again and let’s peek into a world that’s once again, beyond imagination!
There are many ways one could interpret this story. There’s one direction which particularly tells a heartwarming story of the syndrome. Or there’s also another direction in which it directs the readers to get a nerve tingling amusement from the syndrome. Whichever perception you choose to believe in, is all in your hands. So here we go!
