The article literally refers to the case for which Stockholm Syndrome is named and offers a simple explanation; that torture and privation work to align a person's goals and motivations to minimise pain.

I'm not sure what you are finding so contentious about this article. We have accepted that people under torture will admit to anything for centuries.
