Book ID/图书代码： 02000010B37549
English Summary/英文概要： 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. Nurture, in effect, shapes our very nature. James combines the latest scientific research with fascinating interviews to show that understanding your past is the first step to controlling your present.
Do your relationships tend to follow the same destructive pattern? Have you always enjoyed being the center of attention? Do you feel trapped by your family’s expectations of you? Do you find yourself sounding more and more like your mother? Or your father?
In this groundbreaking contribution to the "nature vs. nurture" debate, clinical psychologist Oliver James shows that it is primarily our first six years of upbringing that determines our behavior as adults. Nurture, in effect, shapes our very nature. In an entertaining and informative combination of science and popular culture, James presents the latest research and revealing case studies of, among others, George W. Bush, Mia Farrow, Michael Jackson, and Prince Charles to prove his point. Along the way he provides provocative questions and examples to help you better understand the impact of your childhood past and make changes to improve your future. A bestseller and recipient of significant attention in the U.K., They F*** You Up is a bold and provocative book which will cause you to seriously ponder who you are and how you became that way.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 你的人際關係不佳嗎?
你經常缺乏信心嗎?
你說話的語氣愈來愈像你爸媽嗎?
臨床心理醫生 Oliver James 的研究顯示, 為人父母在撫養0-6歲階段的小孩所使用的教養方式對孩子未來的人格發展有相當大的影響。 Oliver James 認為, 0-6歲是教養小孩的關鍵時刻。 例如, 一個家庭的兄弟姐妹雖然基因和生長環境非常相似, 但是從小性格可能就不太一樣, 這是因為父母對待每個孩子的方式不一樣, 導致孩子的性格差異。 原來, 後天教養比基因和生長環境還要重要!
Oliver James 並佐以個案研究證實他的觀點, 包括小布希、 英國查爾斯王子和已故搖滾天王Michael Jackson。 本書包括許多可以幫助你更了解自己的習題, 因為只有了解自己的過去, 才能掌控自己的未來! (Jennifer)
