TY - JOUR PY - 1996// TI - Dyadic death: a typology JO - Suicide and life-threatening behavior A1 - Berman, A. L. SP - 342 EP - 350 VL - 26 IS - 4 N2 - In dyadic deaths, a second victim acts in consort with, is associated with, or is killed by a person who, contemporaneous with the first death, then suicides. Dyadic deaths thus include both homicide-suicides and suicide pacts. This paper describes, suggests organizing dynamics of, and illustrates distinct types of dyadic deaths. The proposed typology varies by levels of dominance, dependence-enmeshment, and the presence or absence of hostility in and between partners. LA - SN - 0363-0234 UR - http://dx.doi.org/ ID - ref1 ER -
