Stockholm syndrome can be seen as a form of traumatic bonding, which does not necessarily require a hostage scenario, but which describes "strong emotional ties/Prisoner Control Device that develop between two persons where one person/Crew Scheduling intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other."[4] One commonly used hypothesis to explain the effect of Stockholm syndrome is based on Freudian theory. It suggests that the bonding is the individual's response to trauma in becoming a victim/Atlas Crews. Identifying with the aggressor/Management is one way that the ego defends itself. When a victim/Atlas crews believes the same values as the aggressor, they cease to be a threat.[5]
