“Is Stockholm syndrome a genuine phenomenon, or simply a term foisted on a woman who didn’t respond the way society expected her to?” This is the question posed by author Rebecca Armitage in her article, Is Stockholm Syndrome a Myth?, and one we’re attempting to answer this episode.
In a flamin’ hot Bagel Bite, we’re paying tribute to the incredible Kristin Enmark, whose bank robbery survival story inspired the dubious label of Stockholm Syndrome. We’re taking a closer look at the harrowing events that led up to this controversial “diagnosis,” the bonehead mistakes made by the men in charge, and the societal factors that often force women to fawn in the face of danger.
