Stockholm Syndrome: this disputed disorder in pop psychology is characterized by the tendency of hostages (captives) to develop a psychological bond with their captors [1, 2].
It is named after an attempted bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden, that took place in 1973. Despite its prominence in popular culture, Stockholm Syndrome has not yet been included in the official DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
The DSM is the authoritative guide that decides (by vote) what insurance companies will and will not cover as legitimate mental disorders. It is used by clinicians and others for the diagnosis of psychiatric conditions used in the United States.
Psychologists generally consider evidence for this condition to be dubious or nonexistent [3]. Many famous examples of Stockholm Syndrome are either partly or entirely fabricated, including many details of the 1973 bank robbery that gave this syndrome its name [4].More
(Real Crime Archives) White father, a convicted rapist whose own father was a Nazi who fought for Hitler and was an alcoholic who abandoned his family, trapped his daughter in the basement for 24 years. He blamed cult for her disappearance, while leading a "normal" life above ground with his wife and family, as he began having 7 children with his daughter through incestuous rape, all to keep her under his patriarchal paternal power, he explains.
He says from prison that he is not the only man in Europe doing this. Look around.
The Joe Fritzl case emerged in 2008 when a 73-year-old man name Joe Fritzl named his daughter Elisabeth Fritzl (born 6 April 1966) as the mother of his daughter. Surely, sir, you mean your granddaughter? No, no, I know what I mean.
Joe informed investigators in the city of Amstetten, Lower Austria (Germany's neighboring country, where Adolf Hitler was born), that the mother was a runaway belonging to a cult. When she appeared at the hospital to explain her daughter's illness (never having seen sunshine), she explained that she had been held captive for 24 years by her own child molester, serial rapist father, Josef Fritzl (born 9 April 1935).
Joe Fritzl had sexually and physically assaulted, incestuously abused, and repeatedly raped and impregnated his daughter countless times during her 24-year imprisonment inside a small dungeon Joe built, concealing it an area of their suburban house cellar [1, 2].
The incestuous rapes resulted in the birth of seven children [3]. Three children remained in captivity with their mother, one died shortly after birth and was disposed of by cremation by Joe Fritzl [4], and the other three were brought up out of the dungeon to live with the family upstairs by Fritzl and his wife Rosemarie, claiming they were dropped off by their cult-member daughter Elisabeth, who was in fact still imprisoned just below her mother.
Joe Fritzl convinced his wife, her mother, and the authorities that they were foundlings each time, left at the doorstep by a daughter who could not care for them herself.
Fritzl was finally arrested four decades later by Austrian police on various counts of rape, false imprisonment, murder by negligence, and incest, one week after Elisabeth's eldest daughter, Kerstin, fell ill in the cellar and had to be taken to the hospital by Joe Fritzl himself, against his better judgment.
In March 2009, when Elisabeth unexpectedly showed up to court, Joe Fritzl pleaded guilty to all counts and was sentenced to life imprisonment in a special mental facility, at one point having to change his name due to the notoriety of the case. More
