Stockholm and Lima Syndrome – Both Stockholm syndrome, and Lima syndrome are very similar: Stockholm syndrome is where a victim of abduction develops a personal attachment to the abductor, while Lima Syndrome is the opposite: the abductor develops a feeling of sympathy towards the 'abductee'. In 1973 a group of bank robbers held the bank employees captive for five days. The victims became attached to the robbers, and defended them even after being freed. One of the captors even ended up marrying an abductee.
