Books by Oliver James
Oliver James was born in 1953 and is a clinical psychologist. He has produced dozens of television programmes including the Man Who Shot John Lennon, Room 113 and Prozac Diary. His interview with Peter Mandelson in his series The Chair on BBC2 in 1997 received widespread publicity. During the period of emotional upheaval following the death of Princess Diana, he appeared on Newsnight, to which he is a regular contributor, and controversially questioned the extent of the public's anxiety. He is a regular contributor to the Daily Mail, Evening Standard, Mail on Sunday and all the major broadsheets. Since its publication, Britain on the Couch has been turned into a successful documentary series. Oliver James is a trustee of two children's charities, The National Family Parenting Institute and Homestart. He wrote Juvenile Violence in a Winner-Loser Culture and They F*** You Up.
