Dr. King serves as a consulting
expert in criminal and civil cases of family violence, and
offers keynotes and training for government and healthcare
organizations nationwide. She has been featured in dozens
of newspapers and appeared on numerous radio and TV talk
shows across the country. Her work is known as the bridge
between psychology, healthcare and domestic abuse advocacy.
Dr. King received
the Heart of Gold Award
2006 for outstanding humanitarian contribution
by T Harv Eker Peak Potentials Training in recognition for
her work in domestic abuse education with healthcare professionals.
Her groundbreaking book All
But My Soul: Abuse Beyond Control has
been used as a college textbook in criminal justice and
has helped thousands of people break the cycle of abuse
and reclaim a life of peace, dignity and respect.
Dr. King developed the Intimate
Partner Abuse Screen®,
which is an assessment tool that makes detection of intimate
partner violence more expedient and accurate in both professional
and personal use. It is the first tool to clearly bring
to light the subtle communication patterns of intimate partner
violence.
Dr. King earned her doctorate degree in
Psychology from Northwestern University. She was founding
director of the Chicago Center for the Treatment of Pain
and Stress, and past president of the Illinois Biofeedback
Society. Before shifting her focus to helping abuse survivors
and their advocates, she pioneered the Biofeedback
and Stress Reduction Program®, conducted
in hospitals with thousands of patients for the treatment
of pain, stress and illness.
Her shift in professional focus from bio-behavioral
medicine to domestic abuse advocacy was precipitated by
her own personal encounter with family violence and the
legal abuse syndrome. Instead of letting the tragedy of
her own losses define her, she chose to turn the crash into
a crusade and inspire her to help others.
Dr. King formed a nonprofit
charitable organization Partners
in Prevention to carry out her vision of bridging healthcare
and domestic abuse advocacy. Partners in Prevention helps
physicians and nurses nationwide to recognize domestic abuse
and develop clinical skills to effectively interface, and
intervene, with patients who are victims of violence.
