The Full Spectrum of Domestic Abuse Addressed in All But My Soul
Free Educational Download
Many books focus on only one aspect of violence — physical, emotional, or legal. All But My Soul: Abuse Beyond Control is different.
It documents the interlocking reality of abuse as it is actually lived:
- Physical abuse — the direct violence and bodily danger
- Psychological and emotional abuse — the erosion of identity, reality, and self-trust
- Legal abuse — when the court system, attorneys, and legal mechanisms are used as tools of control
- Institutional betrayal — when systems meant to protect instead deepen the harm
- Coercive control — the invisible architecture that binds all of these together
In lived domestic violence, these forms of abuse rarely occur in isolation. They layer, reinforce, and amplify one another.
Physical violence instills fear.
Psychological abuse distorts reality.
Legal abuse traps the survivor in prolonged exposure.
And institutional failures compound the trauma, often in plain sight.
This book bears witness to that entire continuum — not as theory, but as lived and clinically observed reality.
It documents what happens when a human being must navigate bodily danger, psychological erosion, and legal entrapment at the same time — and still survive. Within that continuum, the story unfolds as both a personal documentary and a clinical record.
Personal Documentary • Clinical Integration
All But My Soul is a hybrid of lived experience and clinical insight, written by both a survivor and a psychologist — once adopted as a criminal justice textbook.
The book traces the psychological, emotional, and institutional realities of coercive control and relational abuse, exposing how systems designed to protect can, at times, become agents of further psychological harm. Each chapter pairs lived experience with scholarly integration, where Dr. Jeanne King, Ph.D. draws on clinical knowledge to illuminate the deeper dynamics beneath the narrative.
For over two decades, this work has served as a voice for survivors and a resource for clinicians, legal professionals, and advocates — offering a rare bridge between trauma, professional understanding, and the reality of navigating systems that often fail the vulnerable.
This is a work of survival, psychological endurance, and truth — told from inside the experience and grounded in professional clarity.
