They F**k You Up - How To Survive Family Life by James Oliver

If you are finding that you tend to attract the same type of relationships into your life or follow a similar destructive pattern to your parents then you may (or may not) be surprised to know that this is because of our upbringing. In fact clinical psychologist Oliver James has pinpointed it down to the way we are cared for in the first six years of life!

Through case histories and his own wide-ranging research, James reveals that childhood experience dominates our choice of friends and lovers, defines our interests and professional drive and even determines how prone we might be to emotional and mental problems.

The good news of course is the fact that if it's only a case of mindset then there is something we can do about it.

A great read, I recommend it.
