Dear friends yesterday I wrote about Stockholm syndrome.Now let me talk about "Lima syndrome" which is said to be the inverse of "Stockholm Syndrome".Unlike ""Stockholm syndrome", where hostages develop sympathy for their abductor, "Lima syndrome"is the result of the abductor / kidnapper sympathizing with his hostages. It was named after an abduction at the Japanese Embassy in Lima, Peru in 1996, when members of a militant movement took hostage hundreds of people attending a party in the official residence of Japan's ambassador. Within a few hours, the abductors had set free most of the hostages, including the most valuable ones, due to sympathy.
