Abstract

El síndrome de Estocolmo es un término utilizado para describir una experiencia psicológica paradójica en la cual se desarrolla un vínculo afectivo entre los rehenes y sus captores. Sin embargo, no existe actualmente una unificación de criterios con respecto a su diagnóstico y características e incluso a su denominación de “síndrome”. El objetivo del presente estudio fue revisar y sintetizar la literatura internacional existente sobre el síndrome de Estocolmo. Después de analizar los 23 artículos seleccionados a través de la búsqueda en PUBMED, Google Académico, Academic Onefile y EBSCO, se podría considerar que la extensión del término a diferentes casos o grupos es un indicador importante de que se trata de una respuesta instintiva universal de supervivencia, aunque la falta de estudios empíricos podría llevar a la conclusión de que muchas de las características del término se deben a un sesgo informativo.

Alternate abstract:

The Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological experience in which an affective bond between hostages and their captors is developed. However, currently there is no unification of criteria with respect to its diagnosis and characteristics and even its denomination of “syndrome”. The objective of the present study was to review and summarize the existing international literature of the Stockholm syndrome. Databases (PUBMED, Google Scholar, Academic Onefile, and EBSCO) were systematically searched. After analyzing the 23 articles selected, it could be considered that the expansion of the term to different cases or groups is an important indicator that it is a universal instinctive response of survival, although the lack of empirical studies could lead to the conclusion that many of the characteristics of the term are due to an information bias.
