Abstract
SYNOPSIS: Suicide pacts, though occurring infrequently, are neglected occurrences. They have features distinguishing them single suicides which can be seen as residing in the characteristics of the pact relationship. Dyadic, family and collective suicides are reviewed and found to have several common features, including exclusivity and isolation, the threat of dissolution of the relationship, and the presence of a powerful initiator.
