Stockholm syndrome is when a captive begins to feel loyalty to their captor and sides with them or defends them. The name referes to a 1973 bank robbery in which the victims publicly defended the bank robbers after the situation resolved. I think it’s a psychological defense mechanism that helps a person deal with abnormal situations. By siding or sympathizing with the kidnapper, one can rationalize the situation and deal with it more readily in psychological terms. Another idea would be of identifying with someone in a position of power regardless of the extreme circumstances.
These kinds of things are also seen in abusive relationships. Everyone wonders why someone stays in them even if the victim gets beaten close to death. I think victims falling in love with their kidnappers is just an extension of all of this and taking the next step.
One famous example is of Patty Hearst helping her kidnappers with a robbery.
