Ink and Echoes: A Playwright's Lens on Invisible Wounds

Season 1, Episode 7: Pat Black-Gould brings more than literary passion to her stories. Her decades working as a clinical and neuropsychologist, especially with Vietnam veterans, has given her a firsthand view of war's deep psychologist scars which she has channeled into historical fiction that honors the sacrifices of veterans, explores societal shifts, and amplifies resilient voices. Her latest book, All the Broken Angels is more than a historical saga - it's a heartfelt tribute drawn from lived experience and deep empathy. Through Pat's lens - clinical, theatrical, compassionate - we meet a generation in turmoil: grappling with war, shifting identities, and both division and hope. In addition to being an award-winning author and clinical psychologist, Pat Black-Gould is also a playwright and theater producer who also frequently speaks at events and book clubs nationwide.
