Stockholm Syndrome | LeechFest Ep 44

In this month's episode we tackle the concept of Stockholm Syndrome as follows: Mia talks about the original bank heist which led to the coinage of the term, and Salem follows up with another very famous case- that of Patricia 'Patty' Hearst. We briefly give our personal interpretation of both cases, after which we discuss some potential psychiatric explanations of the phenomenon: specifically that it's an inborn (yet conscious) response to particular types of intraspecies threats, and/or that it's an automatic response in the face of threat. Enjoy!
