Overview

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 rubric: Freedom from Social Oppression. Double Trouble is the second of four anthologies, or collection of narrative pieces, from my first book: Hide and Play Dead. The organizing theme for this anthology is sexual identity -and its corollary, sexuality. The issue of sexuality and gender identity has been part of American culture for decades. The complexity of each sexual identity groups' subpopulations and sub-cultures is amplified by America- as a country with a long history of sexual experimentation and diversity. Although these pages largely relate my experience as a gay or bisexual male, the ten long-term relationships I had are relevant to persons of any sexual identity group. We all struggle with others in intimate ways, and we all know how difficult it is to find an appropriate partner or establish a healthy marriage. The other anthologies in this series center on the topics of establishing one's independent adult, racial, and spiritual identity.

Author Information

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.
