Analysis and all its weaker offspring seductively gives us a chance to look at the mess of our lives and find a path through it, a narrative that will explain us to ourselves. Where we thought there was randomness, a pattern emerges; where we thought there was senselessness, some kind of a meaning. This is how I became who I am.
There is something of the artist about him. He is wearing a flamboyant silk scarf and a capacious greatcoat, and peers through his spectacles like a character from a wartime spy novel. After a couple of minutes, I realise I have just met him.
The conclusion of the book is: no matter the family, children are all fucked up by their parents. Sometimes a little, sometimes more. I am a trained engineer, not engineering anymore.

Do your relationships tend to follow the same destructive pattern? Do you feel trapped by your family's expectations of you? Does your life seem overwhelmingly governed by jealousy or competitiveness or lack of confidence? In this ground-breaking book, clinical psychologist Oliver James shows that it is the way we were cared for in the first six years of life that has a crucial effect on who we are and how we behave.
Oliver James is tall, pale and spindly, like a seedling that has been put in the airing cupboard and then forgotten. He appears to have germinated unnoticed instead of being brought out into the light, with the result that he looks a little starved of vital nutrients. It is a hot day, but the windows and doors of his elegant home in Shepherd's Bush are firmly closed.
