is there a good book about scapegoating and related family dynamics?

I know lots of people here talk about it, but I'd really like to read some more and think about my own family, as I have basically always been the scapegoat. So are there good books out there that will help me to understand a bit more?

I think I am most of the way out of being trapped by them - I've had therapy and done a lot of thinking along the way. But there are things that happened in the past that I can't let go of - and the main responsible person is now dead, so it's impossible to have it out with them. But I need to get rid of the anger and fury; as long as I have that, they still have power over me. Or if there is any other way to do it, I'd love to know.

Hope this makes sense.

There is an excellent book by John Cleese and Robin Skinner, called Families and How to Survive Them, that deals with family dynamics and why people behave like they do, which you might find helpful.
