Although this essay, or pamphlet, is primarily designed for people who are involved with social change- such as activists, political scientists, or social engineers- the content is of great value to any progressive-leaning reader who is concerned about our current social or political landscape.

The concept that quantum advances in the neurosciences can not only cure physical and emotional disease states, but can also free individuals from the biological basis of social oppression is shocking to most engaged protest movements.

Even more surprising is that social change processes, augmented by literary, psychotherapeutic, and neuro-technological inventions, can also indirectly lead to a mass non-violent resistance movement to block the self-serving agendas of the corporate and financial elite.

The essay reveals the biological basis of oppression, and demonstrates how neuroscience research has begun to view social oppression as an almost universal, socially-induced neurological imbalance- designed to create a docile workforce and submissive public.

The grave sociopolitical implications of this restrictive impairment for humanity and the world are examined in detail. An alternate future is delineated- based upon implementing treatment for both the physical and social problems stemming from global oppression. The pamphlet ends with an urgent call to action, suggesting concrete ways to effectively alter the unstable course of current events.

You will quickly see that the information in this pamphlet is of the utmost urgency for our collective wellbeing. And you will appreciate the clarity, voice, and transparency of the author- as a very complex sociopolitical crisis is made easy to comprehend, in a manner that inspires hope and excitement.

This essay will be distributed to social activist groups at large, thus the overall slant blends the neurosciences with the social and political sciences, but the takeaway message is clearly directed to all persons with a willingness to both recognize the warning signs of ominous trends and to get involved with peaceful action to reverse them.
About the Author: 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 biopersonality, consciousness, neuropsychiatry and international health prepared him to explore the essence of human nature.

He specialized in a very broad scope of 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 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 currently has a private practice in psychotherapy and psychiatry near Palm 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.

"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-social oppression."
