R.C. Goodwin’s MAKING GOD LAUGH gives an insider’s view of psychiatric work in private practice, jails and prisons (including Death Row), substance abuse treatment facilities, homeless shelters, and student mental health at a large University. It describes Goodwin’s background – growing up in Central Illinois, studying history at Yale and medicine in Dublin, and the highs and lows of his psychiatric training. Among the book’s tangents: his stints as a Freedom Rider and a Skid Row social worker; careening through the sexual revolution; attending the U.K.’s largest Rock Festival. He writes candidly of marriage, divorce, and remarriage, and navigating the blended family tempests. He also writes of how his work has affected him personally, and of receiving as well as providing psychiatric services

After graduating from Yale, R.C. Goodwin spent six demanding but wonderful years in Dublin attending medical school before returning to the U.S. for an internship and psychiatric residency. Since then, he has worked in private practice, jails and prisons, nursing homes, a substance abuse facility, and a student mental health clinic at a major university-all of which he describes in his memoir, Making God Laugh. His fiction has appeared in Elixir, Center, Northeast, and Writers Digest Online among other publications. It has also been published in two anthologies, Stories that Need to be Told and Coolest American Stories. Goodwin's debut book The Stephen Hawking Death Row Fan Club, a prison-based collection of award-winning short stories and a novella, was named a Kirkus Indie Best Book of 2015. He has also written a novel, Model Child, a psychological thriller. He lives with his wife and a spoiled, bossy cat in Connecticut.
