    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.

      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.
