Erin Bow:

"I just read -- in the book SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO by Jess Hill -- about the incident in Stockholm for which Stockholm Syndrome is named, and I am royally pissed off on behalf of all women, buckle up.

So, in 1973 there was this bank robbery In Stockholm. Two gunmen took four bank clerks hostage. This doesn't happen much in Sweden, and the police response can most charitably be described as inept. They surrounded the bank and kept it under siege for six days.

The public was rapt. The police probably felt they couldn't back down.

They got off to a bang up start when they sent their psychiatrist Nils Bejerot and a teenaged kid THOUGHT was the gunman's younger brother into the bank to negotiate. The kid was not in fact the younger brother and he got shot. Nils got out, though. Put a pin in that.

One of the hostages was a woman named Kristin Enmark. She strategically got close to the gunman who seemed more sane and more stable, because she thought that getting his protection was the best bet for getting out of there.

Definitely she didn't want to leave their lives in the hands of the police. She tried to talk to our friend Nils on the phone -- he refused to talk to her.

From inside the bank she gave a radio interview: "[The police] are playing with our lives. And they don't even want to talk to me, who is the one who will die if anything happens."

She was terrified the police would storm the bank and she and the other hostages would be killed in the cross fire. She even called the Swedish Prime Minister, proposing a plan where she and another hostage would leave the besieged bank with the two robbers.

The prime minister refused to agree, saying they couldn't give in to the demands of criminals. He told her: "Well, Kristin, you can't get out of the bank. You will have to content yourself that you will have died at your post."

When the police finally did teargas the place, they captured the gunmen and paraded them up and down the street. Enmark had had quite enough of theatre that would have cast her as "dead hero" and now wanted her to be "dazed victim."

She refused to get into a stretcher, walking out of the bank instead. She was not visibly traumatized in what the public considered the appropriate way. And she was critical of the police, especially their psychiatrist, our boy Nils.

It was at that point that he made up a syndrome -- Norrmalmstorg Syndrome, for the part of the city, later Stockholm Syndrome -- on the spot, and diagnosed her with it without ever talking to her personally.

Jess Hill writes: Stockholm Syndrome is a myth invented to discredit women victims of violence, created by a psychiatrist with an obvious conflict of interest, whose first instinct was to silence the woman questioning his authority.

The worst of it is this made-up disorder has been used to discredit (mostly but not exclusively) women who live with protracted danger and make strategic decisions about how and whether to resist.

In domestic abuse (a term author Hill prefers to domestic violence), Stockholm Syndrome is a tool for keeping the focus on the victim (“why didn’t she leave”) and not the perpetrator, or the system."

Scandinavia and Finland : Services and Fares leaflet : British Railways (Eastern Region) : 1960 by mikeyashworth Via Flickr: One of the series of leaflets issued by British Railways describing long-distance European rail travel using the then many ferry crossings to the Continent. Many of these steamer servces were at the time owned and operated by British Railways. Issued biannually, for Summer and Winter Seasons, the editions usually had different covers relating to the country or groups of countries the leaflet related to. At the time, prior to widespread air travel and the Channel Tunnel, the various ferry services, and allied train connections, were the main option for most travellers. These were commissioned from a range of artists and designers and this series, for Winter 1960/61, feature artworks by Reginald Lander (1930 - 1980) who undertook many commissions for British Railways and other clients. As well as the BR totem the covers also, unusually, feature the badge of the C.I.E.C., the European Railway Information Centre based in Rome who were the trans-national European railway organisation allied to the International Union of Railways. This leaflet gives details of a surprisingly varied number of routes including travel from London via Harwich to Germany and onwards to Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland; routes from Victoria station via Ostend, Brussels and onwards through Cologne; the Harwich to Esbjerg services using the Royal Danish Mail Services of Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab: London Tilbury and Gothenburg; Bergen Line sailings from Newcastle upon Tyne to Stavanger, Bergen and Oslo that included through trains from Kings Cross to Tyne Commission Quay; Newcastle to Oslo via Kristiansand and the Olsen Line; Associated Humber Lines services fromGoole to Copenhagen (Fridays with limited passenger accomodation), and the summer onlu Newcastle - Esbjerg/Copenhagen services of the Det Forenede Dampskibs-Selskab. At this date British Railways had an office in Stockholm at Norrmalmstorg 1.

The Stockholm flagship store on Norrmalmstorg was the location of the 1973 bank robbery and subsequent hostage situation that gave rise to the term Stockholm syndrome for the psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy toward their captors

Screenshot of a Kindle book page that reads: (…) "classic throw-away line we use to describe the mental condition of domestic abuse victims, but it's also a term that's still taken se- riously by some psychologists. 'A classic ex- ample [of Stockholm syndrome] is domestic violence,' says Oxford psychologist Jennifer Wild, 'when someone - typically a woman - has a sense of dependency on her partner and stays with him.But Stockholm syndrome a dubious pathology with no diagnostic criteria - is riddled with misogyny and founded on a lie.

More screenshots from presumedly, the same book: "misidentified Olsson and, thinking they had found his younger brother, sent a teenage boy into the bank to negotiate, accompanied by Nils Bejerot, only to have Olsson shoot at him. As Olsson became more and more agitated, his accomplice, Clark Olofsson, whose release from jail was one of Olsson's first demands, reassured the hostages. '[Clark] comforted me, he held my hand,' Enmark recalled in 2016. 'He said, "I want to see that Jan doesn't hurt you." I can't say that I felt safe, because that's not the word, but I chose to believe him. He meant very much to me, because I thought that somebody cared about me. But there was no affection in that way. In some way, he gave me hope that, 'this is going to end okay.'There was no such reassurance from the police. Enmark asked to speak to Bejerot, but he refused. In a live radio interview from the bank, she blew up at the authorities. '[The police] are playing with our lives. And then they don't even want to talk to me, who is the one who will die if anything happens.' Sensing that their likelihood of survival was getting slimmer by the hour, Enmark took matters into her own hands. She called the Swedish prime minister, Olof Palme, and begged him to let her and another hostage leave the bank with their captors. 'I fully trust Clark and the robber,' she told Palme. 'I am not desper-"

You will have to content your- self that you will have died at your post.' Enmark was appalled, telling Palme, 'I don't want to be a dead hero.Finally police teargassed the bank vault Finally and paraded the captors up and down the street to cheers and jeers from the crowd. Enmark watched on, furious at this macho display. When she was told to lie on a stretcher, she refused: 'I walked in here six and a half days ago, I'm walking out.On the radio, Enmark criticised the police, and singled out Bejerot. In response, and without once speaking to her, Bejerot dismissed her comments as the product of a syndrome he made up: 'Norrmalm- storg syndrome' (later renamed Stockholm syndrome). The fear Enmark felt towards the police was irrational, Bejerot explained, caused by the emotional or sexual attach- ment she had with her captors. Bejerot's snap diagnosis suited the Swedish media; they were suspicious of Enmark, who 'did not appear as traumatised as she ought to"

Is it strange that one is afraid of those who are all around, in parks, on roofs, behind corners, in armoured vests, helmets and weapons, ready to shoot?'[highlighted text] In 2008, a review of the literature on Stockholm syndrome found that most diagnoses were made by the media, not psychologists or psychiatrists; that it was poorly researched, and that the scant academic research on it could not even agree on what the syndrome was, let alone how to diagnose it.

Broke:

Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.

Woke:

Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.

So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.

Also love the inconsistencies in reports about the Norrmalmstorg Robbery. Like the Swedish version of the Wikipedia article simultaneously lists 0 injured and claims a cop was shot and injured his hand as well as claiming another was hit in both the face and hand by a gun. Are cops not people?

When someone talks about Stockholm syndrome (outside of a professional context, at least), it's popularly understood to mean a kidnapping victim or hostage that becomes brainwashed to side with their captor, like the case of Patty Hearst. But the context of where the term "Stockholm syndrome" comes from is important.

In the 1973 Norrmalmstorg robbery, a bank robber (and later an accomplice) took four bank employees hostage for a period of six days. The hostages would later say after the situation resolved that they felt the police response was incompetent, and that the police negotiators were irrational and uncooperative. At one point during the situation, Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme spoke with the hostage-takers in a failed negotiation attempt, and the next day one of the hostages called Palme (while she was still captive as a hostage) to chew him out, "said that she was very displeased with his attitude and asked him to let the robbers and the hostages leave". The hostages would also go on to say they felt the hostage-takers were acting more rationally than the police, and they felt their lives were threatened more by the police than by the captors. This lead to them refusing to testify against the hostage-takers, and in fact contributing money for their legal defense.

From what I have heard of the hostages freed from Hamas, it sounds like there are a lot of parallels with the Norrmalmstorg robbery.

Leaked comments from a meeting between released hostages and Netanyahu reveals rage towards the israeli government. During this meeting Netanyahu was heckled and shouted at by released hostages, who accused him of wanting to topple "the Hamas government, to show that you have bigger balls... You put politics above the return of the kidnapped.”

They speak of being shelled by IDF helicopters, of realizing the IDF is considering flooding the tunnels where hostages are with sea water.

A man with released family members said “They were under constant threat from the IDF shelling. You sat in front of us and assured us that it does not threaten their lives. They also roam the street and [are] not only in the tunnels. They are mounted on donkeys and carts. You will not be able to recognize them on the street and you are endangering their lives. It is our duty to return them now.”

"When Netanyahu said Hamas was to blame for the end of the truce, an individual identified by ynet as a family member of a released hostage replied: 'Nonsense.'”

[ad_1] The bank robbery and hostage situation that led to the coining of the term "Stockholm syndrome" began on this day in history, Aug. 23, 1973. On that date, Jan-Erik Olsson, an escaped prisoner who was sentenced to three years in prison for grand larceny, burst into Sveriges Kreditbanken, located in Stockholm's Norrmalmstorg square, armed with a submachine gun. In an attempt to hide his identity as a native Swede, Olsson put on an American accent and said, in English, "The party has just begun," according to the website of the History Channel.ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, AUGUST 22, 1851, SCHOONER AMERICA WINS FIRST AMERICA'S CUP TROPHYAs it turned out, the "party" had indeed just begun: After wounding a police officer, Olsson then held four employees of the bank hostage for five days. Olsson demanded roughly $700,000 in Swedish and foreign currency, access to a getaway car and the release of Clark Olofsson, a man Olsson had befriended while in prison.  Press photographers and police snipers crouch side by side on a roof opposite the Kreditbanken bank on Norrmalmstorg square in Stockholm on Aug. 24, 1973. The term "Stockholm syndrome" was coined after the hostages were freed. (ROLAND JANSSON/TT NEWS AGENCY/AFP via Getty Images)While these demands were met by the Swedish police — including a full tank of gas for the supplied Ford Mustang getaway car — Olsson did not release the four hostages nor did he agree to actually leave the bank, said the History Channel.The whole affair played out on television. The hostage situation was the first Swedish crime to be aired in real-time.  ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, AUGUST 11, 1934, AMERICA'S MOST NOTORIOUS PRISONERS ARRIVE AT ALCATRAZOn August 28, the hostage situation finally ended after Swedish police fired tear gas into the bank. Olsson and Olofsson left the vault and were arrested. No physical harm was done to any of the four hostages, but their behavior throughout their ordeal intrigued mental health professionals.  Jan-Erik Olsson, seen here in handcuffs, burst into a Swedish bank and held four employees hostage on August 23, 1973.   (BENT O NORDIN BON/TT NEWS AGENCY/AFP via Getty Images)"The captives quickly forged a strange bond with their abductors," noted the History Channel. Olsson gave one of the hostages a wool jacket when she was cold, and "gave her a bullet from his gun as a keepsake," the same source noted.Another hostage, Elisabeth Oldgren, was allowed out of the bank vault, albeit attached to a rope, when she said she was experiencing claustrophobia. The hostages were on a first-name basis with their captors by the second day of their captivity.  "I remember thinking he was very kind to allow me to leave the vault," Oldgren told The New Yorker a year after she was freed.The hostages were on a first-name basis with their captors by the second day of their captivity — and were even concerned for their overall welfare. ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, AUGUST 5, 1962, MARILYN MONROE IS FOUND DEAD IN LOS ANGELESHostage Kristin Enmark told Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme that she "fully trust(ed) Clark and the robber" and that she was "not desperate." "They haven’t done a thing to us. On the contrary, they have been very nice. But, you know, Olof, what I am scared of is that the police will attack and cause us to die," she said. Enmark also insisted that the police allow Olsson and Olofsson to leave the vault before any of the hostages. Gunnel Birgitta Lundbald (upper left), Kristin Enmark (upper right), Elisabeth Oldgren (lower left) and Sven Safstrom (lower right) were all held hostage by Jan-Erik Olsson for five days beginning on Aug. 23, 1973.
