Brown W.J., Malveau R.C., McCormick III H.W., Mowbray T.J. AntiPatterns. Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis

John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998, - 157 pages.
This book will help you identify and overcome prevalent, recurring roadblocks to successful software development. AntiPatterns clearly define software mistakes that most of us make frequently. In fact, most of us could achieve ISO 9001 with our consistency! AntiPatterns also provide solutions: How to fix existing problems and how to avoid repeated mishaps in the future. In short, AntiPatterns describe and solve real−world problems.
In Chapters 5 through 7 you can find the definitions of managerial, architectural, and developmental AntiPatterns. If you are new to design patterns or AntiPatterns, you find introductory material in Chapters 1 through 3; for design patterns practitioners, the AntiPatterns reference model is explained in Chapter 2; the template is explained in Chapter 3.
