An example of a psychological dilemma is a phenomena that occurs when a victim of abuse joins his or her abuser(s) psychologically, that is they start to feel the same way and possibly think the same way. Stockholm syndrome is an example. Occurs when an abuser’s vicissitude takes precedence leading to abuse dominating attitudes and behaviour.
A further phenomena, thought to occur in certain political situations is when an individual, sometimes a child, is coerced into an abusive situation, seemingly having no choice but to follow offensive dictates.
An example of abuse being used as a political weapon is when communist Russia reportedly used sexual abuse in an attempt to degrade the daughters of former imperial leaders. Many other examples are occurring currently according to various sources. Often criminal. To add to the agenda, the abused, or relatives of are approached and coerced, become compromised and often continue to commit further crimes.
Joining abusers continues to be a dilemma. Results are misdirected anger; abusive, dysfunctional family relationships and crime.
