My English teacher spoke of a condition in class that sounded like "McCollum's syndrome" or something similar. It's when a person is kidnapped and at first hates their captors and their cause, but after a while becomes sympathetic to their cause after spending so much time in captivity with them. Please help, I want to mention this condition in my paper for tomorrow and look smart :) Thanks

Let me be the fourth to respond:
Stockholme Syndrome.
And, what do you know? Yahoo did an answer to this one. Except you didnt even know what it was called so your question is NOT a repeat:

This is called Stockhome syndrome. The Patty Hearst kidnapping was a good example of this.
