    Wasn't that woman in question also exposed to horrific acts of violence by the people who kidnapped her? Or am I thinking of a different "brain-washing" case, where the victim ended up robbing a bank?

      You're thinking of Patty Hearst I'm pretty sure, the hostages in the Stockholm robbery as far as I recall were mostly left unharmed aside from being put in makeshift nooses at one point to deter the police from pumping in sleeping gas into the bank vault they and the robbers were holed up in.

        The whole concept is nonsense. You get West Nile virus from travelling to the West Nile. My wife claims to have Stockholm syndrome, but she's never been to Stockholm, never even left the basement in the past 27 years.
