James Davies Collection 2 Books Set Sedated: Modern Capitalism, Cracked NEW
Titles in This Set Cracked: Why Psychiatry is Doing More Harm Than Good Sedated: How Modern Capitalism Created our Mental Health Crisis Condition : New Format : Paperback ISBN : 9781848316546 (Cracked) / 9781786499875 (Sedated) Publisher : Icon Books / Atlantic Books Overview This paperback collection brings together James Davies' most influential critiques of modern mental healthcare. Cracked exposes the pseudo-science behind psychiatric diagnosis, while Sedated examines how capitalism fuels our mental health crisis. Together, they offer an evidence-based challenge to how society understands, treats and profits from emotional distress, making this set essential reading for anyone questioning the medicalisation of everyday suffering. About the Books In Cracked: Why Psychiatry is Doing More Harm Than Good, psychotherapist and anthropologist James Davies draws on interviews with leading psychiatrists, including a key DSM architect, to reveal how the number of recognised mental disorders has ballooned from 106 in 1952 to 374 today. He argues that pharmaceutical profit, rather than sound science, drives much of modern diagnosis, with negative drug trials buried and antidepressants performing little better than placebo. It is a controversial, tightly argued indictment of an industry that has, in Davies' view, prioritised riches and status over patient wellbeing. Sedated: How Modern Capitalism Created our Mental Health Crisis extends this argument outward. Davies shows that more than a fifth of UK adults now take a psychiatric drug each year, a rise of over 500% since 1980, and asks why. Rather than treating distress as a natural response to insecure work and inequality, he contends we have wrongly located the problem inside individual brains. Drawing on studies, policy analysis and expert interviews, Davies builds an urgent case that governments and big business have promoted this individualistic model because it is convenient and profitable, even though it fails the people it claims to help. Two full-length paperbacks by acclaimed author and academic James Davies Evidence-based, meticulously researched critique of psychiatry and capitalism Accessible, general-readership style despite serious academic grounding Ideal for readers interested in mental health, sociology, or Big Pharma exposés Thought-provoking gift for anyone in healthcare, psychology or social policy Brand new paperback condition, ready to read straight away About the Author James Davies is a psychotherapist and academic who obtained his PhD in medical and social anthropology from the University of Oxford. He has worked clinically within the NHS and is a senior lecturer in social anthropology and psychology at the University of Roehampton, London, later becoming a Reader in Medical Anthropology and Psychiatry. He has lectured at Harvard, Brown, Oxford and other leading universities, and writes for the New Scientist and Therapy Today. He is also the author of The Importance of Suffering.
