Synopsis

My life’s work as a physician, psychiatrist, and alternative healer has been the investigation of social oppression, and how to block or reverse its effects. As a writer, I have created a series of books, therapies, and biotechnologies with this specific goal in mind, united under the series name: Freedom from Social Oppression.

“I Am Also a Voice” is the first of four anthologies, or collection of narrative pieces, from my first book: “Hide and Play Dead.” The organizing theme for this anthology is racial identity—and its corollary, racism.

As in the original book, these true stories about my life history and ancestry are vivid, emotionally provocative, and unforgettable. They have been perceived as brilliant journalistic and social exposés, which are pregnant with meaning and, ultimately, uplifting.

The issue of race has come to the forefront of American culture. The complexity of each ethnic groups’ subpopulations and sub-cultures is amplified by America as a global melting pot, and a majority minority nation.

You will find that these pages relate different perspectives about race, and how I, as an individual, survived the clash of different ethnicities with each other ethnicity, as well as turf battles among themselves and across the globe.

The other anthologies in this series center on the topics of individuation, sexuality, and a metaphysical and inspirational anthology focused on spirituality.

About this title

About the Author

Biosketch:
Michael Holloway King, M.D.

Michael King, MD, is a graduate of The Phillips Exeter Academy, Harvard College, and Harvard Medical School, and he has had over four decades of experience in both healthcare and communication skills. He has a long-standing love for the social and political sciences— especially bio-personality, consciousness, and neuropsychiatry. His vast cross-cultural work and international health experience prepared him to explore a global spectrum of human nature.

Dr. King specialized in mind-body psychotherapy in an alternative medicine practice spanning thirty years; he has also worked in virtually all aspects of conventional medicine.

He is currently an activist pioneer in social engineering, and the first physician to address the core emotion of shame and the effects of social oppression— to pinpoint their physical roots and invent treatment programs to resist them.

“It is time for the healer to emerge from behind the walls of clinical medicine and tackle the social milieu where illness is perpetuated. It is time for a new and revolutionary branch of medicine to take a stand against the primary source of human suffering in the world today.”

Dr. King is an expert in writing technology, listening skills, and public speaking, so writing a multi-genre, memoir-driven novel, “Hide and Play Dead,” came as naturally as his self-help format and literary activism in “Overcoming Oppression: Your Guide for a Journey to a New Life.”

In addition to these two original, major works, the Freedom from Social Oppression book series now includes four anthologies, devoted sequentially to the topics of the creation of a unique racial, sexual, adult, and spiritual identity. Workbooks and professional guidebooks are forthcoming.

Michael currently has a private practice in psychotherapy and brain biotechnologies in the Palm Springs area of California, where he specializes in exciting new concepts for the field of medicine: shame desensitization, abuse recognition, trauma therapy, and anti-oppression training.

His treatment process is based on high-empathy, high-rapport, client-centered approaches, along with cognitive-behavioral and somatic therapies, and the development and clinical application of several emerging neuroscience technologies.
