# Event Details - **Event Name**: 'Sedated' by James Davies (PhD Oxon, UKCP) - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 06 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 pm - **Event Description**: The Stockwell Centre Lecture 2026 explores how modern capitalism created our mental health crisis and how we might put it right again.About this EventDrawing on his latest book, Sedated, James Davies explores why our mental health sector is failing so many, and how we might put it right again. Through interviews, stories and original research he traces how, since the 1980s, mental health policy has too often served the neoliberal economic agenda rather than clinical need. The result has been an overly medicalised system that commodifies, stigmatises, depoliticises and pathologises emotional distress, leading to poor outcomes, public disillusionment and the repeated downplaying of the systemic drivers of distress.By amplifying the voices of clinicians, activists, service users, and academics I show how an entirely new approach is required; one that places people and communities at its heart rather than vested interests and outdated reductive and individualising models of distress.This event will be of use to therapeutic practitioners and trainees, but is also open to non-professionals. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/ac4b47c0-b9d6-11f0-91c5-2b5efab58087-rimg-w1109-h740-dcdf955c-gmir.jpg About the Presenter:James Davies, (PhD Oxon; UKCP) is an Associate Professor in Psychology and Medical Anthropology at the University of Roehampton, London.
