Clinical psychologist, writer and documentary producer, Oliver James’ controversial new book Affluenza asserts that society’s obsession with money, possessions and status (‘selfish capitalism’) is causing mental illness: ‘The bad news is that a quarter of British people have been mentally ill in the last 12 months. The good news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.’
