“It is time for the healer to emerge from 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. Social oppression and the rapacious greed of multi-national corporations must be challenged.”

Michael King, MD is a graduate from both Harvard College and Harvard Medical School and he has had over four decades of experience in healthcare and communication skills. His love for bio-personality, consciousness, neuropsychiatry and international health prepared him to explore the essence of human nature.

"Although my interest in bio-personality and consciousness began with studies at the Phillips Exeter Academy, the turning point towards topics of integrative health happened at age seventeen when I was a sophomore at Harvard College. I traveled to Haiti and had a personal experience of ceremonial voodoo that converted me from an arch-scientist to an open-minded investigative mystic, who was devoted to learning everything possible about human states of consciousness."

Michael specialized in mind-body therapy in his alternative practice, and he has also worked in virtually all aspects of conventional medicine. He is currently a pioneer in social engineering and the first physician to address shame and social oppression, pinpoint their psychobiological roots, and invent treatment programs to resist them.

Dr. King is also 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 professional literature in “Overcoming Oppression.”

Michael now has a private practice in psychotherapy and psychiatry in Desert Hot Springs, California where he specializes in the treatment of shame, abuse, trauma, and social oppression. His treatment process is based on high empathy, high rapport, client-centered approaches, along with somatic therapy and non-invasive emerging technologies in the neurosciences.

His current writing project is a study manual and workbook to accompany “Overcoming Oppression.” A guide to his treatment system for healthcare professionals will soon follow—representing a paradigm shift for most of the social sciences and the field of medicine.

Overall a terrific read that I feel delivered in terms of recognizing, dealing with, and overcoming our human flaws and insecurities – namely in the form of SHAME— that can stop us from living our fullest, best life.
