Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness.

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 that develop between two persons where one person intermittently harasses, beats, threatens, abuses, or intimidates the other."

I wrote "sort-of" because it isn't exactly a hostage situation although she isn't really there of her own free will. But he absolutely does try to control her behavior. And there is harassment and mistreatment. And then she grows to care about him (and, yes, the harassment and mistreatment do taper off, but only after her behavior begins to change).
