Janice Kay "Jan" Haaken (born March 2, 1947)[3] is an American clinical psychologist, documentarian, and professor emeritus of Community and Clinical Psychology in the Department of Psychology at Portland State University.[4]
Haaken is the author of three books and co-editor of a collection of essays, many of which focus on trauma, memory, and the role of storytelling in social movements.[5] She has directed six feature-length documentaries and a series of short films. Her work as a filmmaker tends to focus on the work of people on the "social margins" and those who perform typically misunderstood and stressful jobs.[5]
