How did stockholm syndrome get its name?

Stockholm Syndrome: Those who are at risk of bonding with their abuser or someone who has traumatized them are those who are in those situations. Was thus named for a bank robbery in Stockholm where four people held hostage for 6 days resisted attempts to be rescued and defended their captors. Later two of the women got engaged to their captors. This is a survival mechanism.
