"I first heard the term antipattern while reading AntiPatterns Refactoring Software, Architectures, and Projects in Crisis, the first book in this antipattern series (John Wiley & Sons, 1998). I was curious about the term's relation to the concept of a design pattern but soon learned that the main point is understanding which part of a pattern definition relates to the prefix "anti". As the book explains, "An antipattern is a literary form that describes a commonly occurring solution to a problem that generates decidedly negative consequences."
Antipatterns clearly define frequent mistakes in software projects and provide solutions. The books in this antipatterns series (which should be read in order) are a result of the authors' attempt to categorize, label, and describe recurring situations in software development that have negative consequences. While the first book comprises 18 antipatterns divided into the three parts according to three different viewpoints software development, architecture, and management the second book, AntiPatterns and Patterns in Software Configuration Management, aims to help management. Managers of software development projects must understand software configuration management (SCM) methods and techniques, and the authors provide the necessary knowledge and experience using antipatterns and patterns." - IEEE Software
