Stockholm Syndrome ? Really ? There is such a thing ?

So I am listening to AM1070 http://www.knx1070.com/  and they are discussing the Jaycee Lee Dugard case.  http://www.knx1070.com/Garrido-s-Arrainged-on-29-Counts-in-Abduction-and-/5095123.  Such an unbelieveable story !   Anyway,  they interview this phycologist who say she may have sufffered from Stockholm Syndrome.   Apparently there is a syndrome that they discovered in 1973 when bank robbers in Stockholm Sweden took 5 people captive for 5 days.  Well apparently after the lengthy time with the bank robbers the hostages developed this bond with their captors and in fact had sympathy for them.  Is this crazy ?

They are still investigating the Dugard case, so who knows how Jaycee Lee truly feels towards her captors who kept her in a shed for nearly 18 years and made her give birth to 2 children while in captivity.  I'll tell you one thing, if I was her Dad, ole Phillip Garrido better pray he gets locked up for life.  Unbelievable!
