【 摘 要 】

This article is about suicide and relationships. How suicidal thoughts and behaviours can impact relationships for the suicidal person and those around them. This includes relationships between the suicidal person and other suicidal people as well as the suicidal person and others who are non-suicidal. How the suicidal can impact the other and how the other in turn then impacts the suicidal person back. What effects they have on each other in terms of how they think and feel and then how that effects their transactions with each other. More specifically it examines suicide clusters, suicide pacts, suicidality in the therapeutic relationship and suicidality in family relationships. Introduction A huge amount has been written on suicide over the years, within and outside the transactional analysis literature. This article seeks to add to the literature by looking at the role of suicidal thoughts and behaviour in human relationships. Humans are communal beings that naturally tend to form groups, be that families or other types of groups. In these groups people influence and impact each other in how they think, feel and behave. This paper seeks to identify some of the ways suicidal behaviour and talk can impact those others around them in these groups that they have formed.
